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."

It has been a long time since I have visited, I have been not feeling well, but am finally doing better. I am so glad you went ahead with the meet and greet. I hope you had a good turn out. I hope another is planned someday and I can attend. My son will be graduating from his A school on Thursday and coming home for a couple of weeks. He will then go to Oceana at Virginia Beach. He is loving the Navy thus far. I am glad to be back on Navy for Mom.

Eaglemom, please have a safe trip to see your son & you are in my prayers! I'm so bummed that I missed the M&G, but we were just arriving back from vacation. We went to MD to visit our son & also spent some time in DC & the Norfolk/VA Beach area. Didn't want to come home & had a hard time saying good by again!!!

Traci - glad things are settling down? somewhat for you! It'll be nice to have your son home for the holidays. Do you know when/where hes being deployed? Steven is going on his first deployment next week, he was home a couple of weeks in June but of course I didnt get to see him as much as I would have liked.

Oh gosh, mom2nw~ that is so me and I am imaging our boys between them all said a million times really mom?! do you have to do that kind of stuff. Mine have said this from little on. I even talk to strangers in elevators, just a simple good morning or hello! My husband is going fishing for the weekend with his brother in Marinette Cty. so I may take a 'road trip if my son has plans for the weekend(again). :( His GF seems to have a social life for the both of them every Liberty moment. Oh well, if he is happy I am. I sometimes just get the feeling he wants to relax at home(ours) but he needs to express himself and I don't think he wants to hurt her feelings. It a serious relationship but only about 8 months and those were spent in BC pre-training, and her Air Force duties.
I'll watch for postings........have a great Sunday, sure is steamy even here 2 blocks from Lake Michigan today. A grad. party in the park..
