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."

Wow, you did it! How the heck did you find it? He's the second one from the left. You're an angel -- my mom will be so excited! Thanks a million!

Rachel.... I'm so excited....I think I found a pic of your son at the SD Charger Military Pre-game Ceremony game. I sent it to your 1st email you gave to me. For some reason, I can't copy & paste on this site using my husbands IPad, so if it is your son, maybe you can post it on here for the other Moms to see!!!

Thanks, Susan -- can you send me a link? I can't find it on YouTube!

Comment by JerseySusan on September 22, 2013 at 5:57pm
Rachel....U-Tube has a few brief highlights of the 2013 Chargers Military Ceremony Pre-Game.

Oh, my goodness, and I felt bad missing a football game! At least your husband can go - -I'm sure that means a lot to your son. It's so difficult to nail down these Navy dates, isn't it? We had to re-book our flight 3 times when Ben graduated from sub school, which made the trip cost 3X what it should have. I'm sure your husband will take plenty of photos of the ceremony, and you can rest assured knowing that you're a good mom AND a good daughter!

Oh I'm so glad you rec'd them!!! I am using my husbands IPad so everything is under his name right now. I'm taking care of my parents for a week in PA, & he flew out to San Diego today for Christopher's Chief Pinning Ceremony on Friday. I couldn't go b/c I already committed to my sister to take care of my parents while she and her family go on a 'Much Needed' vacation. Yes, I cried terribly when I found out what date Chris's Ceremony was and I was pretty blue for a while, but he didn't know until last month what the date was. I couldn't let my sister down. They are 88 & 90 years old. My dad has Parkinson's, and my mom is frail, and she took them into her home 2 years ago.

Thanks, Jersey Susan! Yes, I did receive the pictures, and I sent a note back (I got an out-of-office reply). Thank you so much. I appreciate the advice about the email, and I did consider the privacy aspect, which is why I used the email address I normally reserve for coupons and that sort of thing. Now that I know how to send email on the site, I'll use that from now on.

Once again, thanks so much for the pics -- they were great!

Hi Rachel, I sent the pics to the email you posted below, however, I 'm not showing that is was successfully sent. UGH... Let me know if you received them to your personal email. Also, you should probably delete your private email below from this public site. The best way to have more privacy is just to send it through the in box in the top right corner. I believe you have to accept a friend request to send private emails back and forth this way. If you have a different email to use, try to send it to me through their box. I did send you a friend request.

My email is rachel_sumi@sbcglobal.net. If you wouldn't mind emailing me those pics, I'd love to see them -- thanks!!

Comment by JerseySusan on September 10, 2013 at 11:51pm
I tried to send some of the Pictures from the SD Charger Game to this site. I can't seem to paste or link it to this site without my main computer. If anyone would like to see pics, I can send it to your personal email.
