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'm excited!! And I have never been to the east coast - so something new too!
Oh and Janice or any of you that your son's know mine pretty well us coming for the homecoming is a surprise for him! He has NO CLUE that we are even considering it!!
-

Thanks everyone! I'm not really mad - it is just unlike him! But I know he is having a good time and it is a much deserved break!! We are beginning to make our plans and for our time off for the homecoming - checked plane tickets and they aren't as high as I thought they would be - will be booking them real soon. So we are getting excited and looking forward to meeting all of you ladies too.

Janice - so sorry to hear of your news. What a blessing that they were able to get all your husbands cancer by surgery with no treatment needed! I totally understand the family pet situation too. We have two cockers that are every bit as spoiled as our kids! Either one of them are in good health - our son told us before he left on deployment not to let him now if something happened to them - that he would deal with it when he got back. So far all is good with both of them. But I do understand and feel for you and your family. Hugs and thoughts for you and your family.
I still haven't got a call from my son - so I'm a little bit frustrated with him!! I can't be mad .... but really how do you not call your mom when you can!?!?! I thought I taught him better than that!! haha

Yay...I got a call last night (his early morning). Short conversation but still sweet. He was at a hotel but getting ready to go to work on the boat.

I got a call a little bit ago from a wife from the boat getting info ready to send out homecoming information.... NOW I'm getting excited!!! Hope everyone is doing great, I haven't heard from my sailor yet (hmmmm.....) must be enjoying land time! haha

Hi Ladies - Hope everyone is doing well. The weather is finally turning cooler here in the 70's and mid 80's this week. I love fall.
Amanda - How do we go about purchasing one of the Cookbook's? And another questions - what does the fundraising money go for?
