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."

I just talked to my son - on the computer and your son, mine and one of there other friend that hang with alot was getting ready to out to eat. "Friday is theri family dinner night out too." (We have always gone out to eat as a family on Friday nights - and still do.) So I thought he comment was funny!

Janice - I knew about that, and I know that my sailor still drinks - he is just MUCH more responsible than he was when he was younger and lived here.

Sorry to hear this drleeper - I will keep the family in my prayers. I preach the "alcohol issue" alot! I have to admit that my son is alot better with his alcohol than when he lived here in small town Kansas - where the kids think there is nothing to do but to party and drink. I am glad that he got out - and he has also mentioned many times that he is glad he got out and has found true friends.

We haven't got any snow to speak of yet this winter, a little dusting but that it is. We are use to snow too, but nothing like they get on the East Coast. I hope it lets up for them soon.

Well, those two weeks went by fast. Had a great time on vacation and a great visit. My sailor is packed up - with cookies and brownies in tow too, and flies back tomorrow morning. Hope he has good travels and not too many delays.
