OPSEC - Navy Operations Security
Always keep Navy Operations Security in mind. In the Navy, it's essential to remember that "loose lips sink ships." OPSEC is everyone's responsibility.
DON'T post critical information including future destinations or ports of call; future operations, exercises or missions; deployment or homecoming dates.
DO be smart, use your head, always think OPSEC when using texts, email, phone, and social media, and watch this video: "Importance of Navy OPSEC."

Looks like some damages to Santa Cruz Harbor, i.e. docks and boats. Not sure when it will hit in the San Diego area but I still feel your sailor will be fine and there does not seem to be mandatory restrictions anywhere.

I too am praying for those in Japan. Not only our sailors but all who live there. Exactly a year ago today we were in Yokosuka for 2 weeks. My step son was stationed on the USS George Washington and we went to visit. Felt 3 earthquakes while we were there. I feel so bad for all. Heard all sailors on GW were accounted for.
As for California....it is suppose to hit within the next few mintues. We are at low tide and it is only suppose to be 2-3 foot waves by the time it hits the SF area. So I would say by the time it hits San Diego area it should be minimal. Always good to be safe than sorry. They have closed schools in one town just because of using school for evacuation area to go to. I think we will be fine.

Karyn- I bet if you ask your son, he'll say he's proud of you too! That goes out to all of us proud sub moms and dads.

Sam chose to reenlist on Ellis Island because I took him to NYC for four days to celebrate his 14th birthday. It was Memorial Day weekend of 2000, the Intrepid had a ton of stuff going on, and we found our relatives on the wall on Ellis Island. This trip we are probably going to do a lot of walking, museums and good food as before. If I am a really good mom then he might wear his uniform (you know how delicious that feels!) And I may be privileged to meet a few more of his buddies. Thanks for your well wishes Karyn, and congratulations on raising one of the cream of the crop!

Ellen...just looked at your PAGE and see that you are from NY. Probably going to the Big City isn't as exciting for you as it is to me being from California and all. Still enjoy your time with your sailor.

Congrats to him! That is pretty cool doing it on Ellis Island. My son reenlisted while they were deployed but have a wonderful time in the Big City ;)

I am headed to NYC to see Sam reenlist 4/8 on Ellis Island. He's doing it with a bunch of others- will I see anyone else there?
