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."

Hi Judi! Sounds like ya'll met in the Navy and got married maybe? We have a LOT of families like that on here! Be sure Judi to go to what does your sailor do (in the discussions above) and put down what both your SIL and your daughter do. Most of us know someone who has a sailor on the GW also!! My brother was an AE in the 60's, also my two cousins. My Uncle was in the navy in WWII aviation also. Its nice to come here and see photographs of those we havn't seen in a long long time. >:- ) (like my dixie cup ?)

TY Kathleen, if she's in port she'll fly from where ever they are, but if at sea I'm not sure. A picture of the ship would be great but I'm not sure how to do it, I'd think you should be able to go to edit picture how did u set the page up? there should be somewhere to edit the profile pic.

Cool pics of the BR!!!
Katie is only on this deployment until the end of March, then she returns to Yokosuka for 2 schools the 3rd school she is going to will be in San Diego WoooHooo!!!! She will be off the ship April - Sept. she said she was sad because she'll be missing out on all of the good ports they are going too!!
I said you'll be saving money by not visiting those ports LOL!! I asked her how she was to return to Yokosuka she said I'll fly back from where ever we are in port, I said what if you are at sea will you fly in the Helicopter?? She said I don't know I didn't think about that, then she said Hell No I'm not flying in no Helicopter, I said you may not have a choice she was like ahhh man I didn't think of that, I'm not going in no Helicopter I laughed and said we'll see!! So
Kathleen tell Jonis he might need to go and talk her through getting on that Helicopter if she has to fly back to Yokosuka in the Helicopter LOL From what it sounds like she'll be taking a Helicopter ride wether she wants to or not LOL!!

This is really late, but I wanted to congratulate the moms (CS) whose sailors received the NEY award. Who knows, I may have done it, and forgot! LOL
Rozy, Myron's mom, and who is the other? I looked on the discussion "what does your sailor do" and couldn't find it, but I believe there is a third. Help me ladies!
