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 did so we'll see, I do remember last year they posted a pic of someone doing this so I'm hoping they will get one of Katie. I wish there was a way for Katie and her hubby to do it together but she does hers on the March 28th and Matt on April 1st. That would have been cool to see the two of them together being sworn in again.

Stacey you might not hear from him but he should be running into Katie, and she usually checks in once a week, so I'll be sure to ask about Brett for you. They only have until the end of this week in Korea according to the FB page. Does anyone know when they Re-Up I think that's how you spell it, do they swear them in again and all?? or what?? if they do I wonder if they do it alone in an office or in front of others or with others like when they were at MEPS getting sworn in with others hmmmmmm The reason I'm asking is Katie is doing this on March 28th I want Pics so if others are allowed to watch maybe those who know Katie can please take pics for this Mommy!!! LOL :)))
Please pass the word on to your Sailors for me TY TY TY

Judi, my daughter met her hubby in IT A school, they have been married for 2 years now. I tease her I said you go in the Navy only to meet a California Boy go figure LOL, we are from No CA, and he's from So CA so it worked out great!! I remember the very first time I spoke with him on the phone she said my friend wants to tell you his name I said Ohh K, he got on the phone and told me his full name I laughed, his middle name is Angel, he told me his mommy named him that because he was an Angel, I laughed and said we'll see about that.
