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 would love to plan a trip for the holidays. That might be the only time that I could get my other two sons there.

My husband & I wanted to go in the spring. But we do not know if they will be deployed or not. It is hard to make plans.

I more than understand this was our second Christmas without Our son. I hope to visit him this year.

dustysmom, happy belated birthday to your sailor. I was just on facebook looking at nicks latest pictures. you are so right, they seem to be having some good times and we are the ones who have the miserable days.
Nick sent a package home yesterday, it had some really nice gifts in it that he obviously picked out special for each of us. I miss him alot and there are some days it just hits me that I want see my boy for sooooo long and my heart just aches. It doesnt seem possible that it hasn't even been a year since we started this journey (roller-coaster). hope you are all having a wonderful weekend, angela
