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."

Well my baby is "leaving on a jet plane, don't know when he'll be back again." Tomorrow is the day that he leaves for San Diego, I sure will miss him! I'll keep praying that he will be home for Christmas. Or maybe I should go out there for Christmas and get away from snow?! I guess I'll save my quarters, because pennies don't buy much anymore!
gammajo--I've been to the light before, my friend and I go walking on the beach quite a bit there. It's nice you can walk forever on it. It was my first time camping there, I'd go again despite the bugs.

Thanks. We very proud already. I wish this would have existed when my husband went in! I sure could have used it then! But I survived then & will this time too. :) Will have to buy stock in the kleenex companies! ;) I plan on getting a family picture taken this weekend! :)

My son leaves on Aug. 2nd. His party will be this Sunday, during our local frog jump festival. We are ok with his going in; we are just going to miss him terribly, he is our oldest. This will be really hard; harder than graduation.

gammajo-- I was just in your area camping, we went to point beach with my son, who is on leave this week. Had alot of fun! It's beautiful there, but the skeeters and flies are bad this year, they almost carried me off. Enjoy your weekend!

Well I thought I'd share with all of you that my son has finally finished school. He got honor grad!! I go get him tomorrow for his leave. I will enjoy this time as much as possible because I know it will be short lived. Then off to San Diego where he can spread his wings and fly. And put his new found knowledge to good use. We all will miss him!

Traci here is a website of 2 places here in Appleton that makes signs. www.instaprintplus.com and another is www.valleysignarama.com. They both do banners. I haven't used them but my employer has used both for banners for trade shows. Hope this helps.
