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 hope you all have fun on the ship! While my husband was on there, it was in dry dock San Diego, and it was a huge mess! I didn't ever get to go on it...partially because I was pregnant during part of it. But my husband said parts of it were looking absolutely beautiful. :)

yes, we are going, Lord willing. i just scanned and emailed our medical forms, now waiting to hear if we are cleared by the ship's dr. oh, by the way, all forms have to be in by the 21st of this month, so if you are even considering it, i would contact the ombudsman, as sharon suggested. hurry! i would love to meet some of my cyber friends in person!

Nice mother's day here too. Got a text from Josh. He sounded in good spirits (made me feel good!). Our family spent the day with our uncle at the assisted living. He loves chinese so we ordered take out and ate there. He's had a bad couple of weeks and couple of bad episodes...his amonia levels skyrocketed and his medicine has been adjusted and now his body is trying to readjust. Seems to get more difficult each time for him :-(
Kim & Tina - nice to hear from you. Hope all is well with your sailors!
Sharon - hope you hear dates soon!!! Josh just put in a chit for leave. Who knows when he'll get approval!
Oh Kyann! Another thing checked off your list! Excitement level must be CRAZY!!!!
Take care all!!
