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."

Traci-- If you live near Green Bay they have quite a few sign places here, Fast Signs & Green Bay Blue are the most popular.
Jakesmom-- I will totally agree with you on the fact that all of our sons are doing an amazing thing. Good luck to everyone's sailors and have a safe weekend!!

Traci - Where are you from? I know of a place in Appleton, WI that does signs and I think fairly reasonable. Happy 4th to you too.....

Hello everyone... Now that PIR and my Marine son's visit is done I can maybe try and catch up with everyone.
My girl is at Great Lakes and will start Corpsman School next week. She got to participate in the "Living Flag" a week ago and just found out yesterday when I talked to her. She is glad to be done with boot camp! Can't wait till she gets her cell phone reactivated so I can keep in touch more.
My Marine son and his wife are probably about half way back to California now and I am missing both of them already too.
Good thing I have my 9 yo to keep me busy.
Anyway, I hope all are well and hope to get in touch with many of you real soon.
