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."

Yes, the 3 of the band are on you tube, but they SAID they would post the 6 in Australia on the FB USS BR group, but havn't seen them yet. In order to watch the band, I had to let it start stop start stop a 100 times, then when it got almost to the end, I backed it up and went almost to the beginning. Then it played all the way through without interruption. Didn't they sound fantastic??

Kthleen thats wonderful!

good news, the BR group on FB says they have 6 videos they will post on their page so we can view them later.

they've posted them on you tube but I can't get it. My satellite company says even though I pay over $50.00 a month, I download too much! (I don't do music, downloading, limewire, nothing.) so therefore, they have slowed down my computer to almost where all I can do these days is my yahoo e-mail. You pay this money, and if you actually use your computer, you get penalized. I can't tell you how mad I am right now. I live in an area where I cannot get dsl or cable so dial-up and sat is my only option.

Yes all of us Blue Ridge Mom's have to stick together!!! I just got lucky that Katie happened to be working and answered my email quickly!! Katie didn't go looking for him because when I emailed her she said she had ran into him yesterday at the beach, since she knows who he is she knows we all talk so she always asks him how's your mom doing.
She doesn't mind at all letting you know. I think all of us mom's worry about them when we don't hear from them for awhile. I think we all feel the same way that's why these sites are so great, because we all know how each other feels and can relate to one another!!

here's what Katie said Tell Kathleen that her son is fine I saw him at the beach yesterday. He is a very busy person and says he just doesn't have much time to contact her. Everytime I see him I ask him how his mom is doing.
