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."

Chips, Congratulations on another addition to your family! I am sure your husband would like to be a part, do you skype each other? I guess that is the adjustment of military life! My son seems to think they are leaving in a couple of months but couldn't tell exact date and where they were going..but he said it is a tropical place and they will be there for awhile before deporting. Hope you all got my drift of hint...aloha!!

Nope. We have another little girl. She is one and a half. And I would love for him to be here for sure, but I am so proud of him. I just know the last three months have left him feeling a little left out. And no matter how many pictures I take or stories I tell, its just not the same as being here. I try to help, but it is an adjustment for our little family.

Chips, congrats on your baby! I'm sure you'd love him to be there as much as possible! Is it your first child? Everyone have a great weekend!

I am voting for later too if anyone is counting. We have a baby coming in July that I would really like husband to be able to spend a month or two with before he has to be gone more.

Annie, thanks for your prayers! Our youngest son had more symptoms yesterday from his injury and his neck doc is out of town. But they said to come in Monday.
So you heard the Stockdale was leaving sooner? I hope we know for sure soon. I hope it's later that they go out ! Christmas at home with our son would be great!

Welcome ChipsAhoy! It is nice to have new people join and give their insights to the group! I heard mixed messages now that they are leaving sooner than later, not sure of any other details though.
aatimom- I am praying for your son to have good news on his MRI and all will go well with him.
