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."

that is nice to know, sharon. thanks for the info. i got on amazon the other day, and it pops up as hunter's...aw anyway, i will check it out more for the free shipping, etc...
danagirl-hope your other son gets home soon, too!
sharon, i bet it is hard to view the wall. it's hard for me and i don't have anyone that was close to me who was there. the wall is such an honor, though.

i keep checking every day to catch a glimpse of hunter, but not yet. :(
i am loving all the pix, tho.
hope you are enjoying your son, danagirl. i would have driven any length to get my son, too!
not too much going on here, just husking that indian corn...woo hoo. had a rainy weekend here. the Vietnam traveling memorial wall was in the county i live in this past weekend. we went to see it 1 night, then attended closing ceremonies yesterday. 25 balloons were let up in the air signifying the 25 pickaway county servicemen and women who lost their lives. touching!!! there are 50,000+ names engraved on that wall. if you ever get the chance to see it, it's really neat. we've never gone to see the one in washington, so this was really neat for us.
have a great week, all!
