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 have both a niece and nephew born on 03-03-03... We thought that was pretty special... No way I can explain square roots to them though... In a few years!

I don't think they will notice the waxing... Do guys ever notice what it takes for a girl to look pretty??? It is an entirely different staff at the recruitment center vs the A schools at Great Lakes. Also the guys get to (must) shave. Just my opinion... ask some of the other moms of the girls for their input though...

So how long does it take before the "web" effect takes hold? My daughter has been there since November - but she swims like a fish so should I start watching her feet or her neck for gills?????
