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."

Denise - funny! "imported" Lol!
Welcome new WI moms! Or new to our group anyhow - great to have you!
Prayer request for Sailors aboard the Stennis and thier families - lots of tension and worrying going on today. Thank God all are 'ok' though! Awesome training = noone dead!
You ladies have been busy lately!
Denise - what do you do that you're displaying at Chi High? And yes, I'm hoping that the old wives tale doesn't hold up this year, and only one snow was needed on those dear Robins! :-) but we've got 2 days in our near forecast here in the Schofield / Wausau Area.
Nytesail - so awesome that you got the call! Very proud moment isn't it?! :-) All smiles!
winavymom$ - prayers definitely w/ our military and thier families and the people of Japan!
Anyone with any more thoughts on a meet & greet or get together this spring / summer? Sure would be awesome to meet those in our WI Navyfamily that we haven't yet!! I know I kinda dropped the ball in this last time, so if there is someone more organized than I (doesn't take much :-) that would like to get a shin-dig together, that would be awesome by me!
Well, now that my morning heart-attack has passed (Stennis news), I better get logged off and get some more work done.
Have an awesome day all! Love - Jen

Well I got the call @ 2:53pm and it lasted 39sec. I was on the line with his GF and wanted to do a conf. call but he said "no, I have to go" and to tell his GF that he had to call me. We thought it was kinda neat that he called while we were chatting with each other. Those 39 seconds as a Mom were telling me he was hyped and sounded great. He didn't even want to use up all the time he had. Good Luck to all this week where ever you SR and yourselves may be.

Sarah H, WELCOME!!!! :)
Boy, when you all get wound up, you really get going! :) LOL. I have been trying to get our plans sealed up for May. My son finally got the system working & got his request put in! :)

denise - are you going to be at the Elk Mound craft sale on Saturday, if so I'll stop & say hi if I see you.
Moms - I am so sick of winter, 12 inches yesterday, stuck in driveway, didnt make it to work & someone had accidentally cut a phone line so we had no computer or phone:(
nytesail - be prepared for the "sailor in a box", it should come in a few days. (us moms can give you moral support if needed) also sometimes divs #800-900 usually have a lot of musically inclined people..

mom2nw - Thanks for sharing the email /quiz - I thought it was so cute when I first read it! Yes - literally had to dig out yesterday - pulled out of my garage and was stuck! Then the battery died. Today my car door wouldn't open, then wouldn't close. Can't drive with an open door - aye aye aye - fun times had by all :-) Glad you didn't get buried, but the slushy yuck is no fun either!
nytesail - you make me laugh! Yeah - you might want to scan those letters first :-) Your SR will sure be glad to get them - that's for sure!!
