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 went on the family cruise! I loved it. It was a little choppy but I never got sick. I took the motion sickness pills early in the morning before the underway. I really enjoyed seeing the ship because I always wondered what everything looked like. My husband is a QM so he works on the bridge. I loved it up there! Everyone was bringing there families to show them the bridge and they all kept saying "look at that view!" And it made me proud that my husband works up there.

No, I'm not. I'm sorry.

Well, there is the wives group located at Mayport that does all of that. However, that doesn't mean that the Mom's can't get together and do something (:

Haha, I was born in Texas and we moved from there when I was six months. But we have a bunch of family there, and I do miss them. My family is still in Florida, and I do miss them a bunch. However, my sister is a legislative aid on capitol hill, so I see a great deal of her. Norfolk is awesome, and we're both enjoying it so far (: My husband misses the Vicksburg, but he's learning a lot on the Eisenhower.

Haha, yeah, I didn't know at first what it meant. My husband (we got married in April) and I did live in Jacksonville. I was in my senior year at the University of North Florida when I met him, but he actually left the Vicksburg in April and is now on the USS Eisenhower in Norfolk. So we live in Norfolk now. But I asked him, and he did know Eric.

Hi! My fiance has been on the Vicksburg for almost four years now. As a matter of fact, he just re-enlisted today (:

When they go out, they do have e-mail privledges. Phone, not so much. It broke while they were in Europe last spring, and they haven't fixed it yet.
