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 hope it was P3. Every time I cry I have to be by myself. My husband doesn't like to see me cry over this. It makes me so mad.

having a hard time tonight within myself....just would really like to hear from him. I was expecting this...I was spoiled by hearing from him on Mon, Tues, Wed, and last night.
Do you think today was P1 day or will it be P3 day for them?

We were just recently in Panama City Beach and down the street from the Navy Dive School. Very cool place to see from the street.

When it comes to A school....we will wait to see again. He is going into Engineering and could go to P'cola, San Antonio, or San Diego. Depending on how he does in BC is if he gets a choice or if he is just "assigned" to an open spot. He is hoping to have a chose and go to P'cola....but we'll know in 8 weeks.

Thanks Chas'Mom. What a great day yesterday. By the way, where are your sons going after bc? Danny will be going to San Antonio for Corpsman School. I'm just curious to see if any will be going where Danny is going or where else they will be stationed.
Carol's Kitchen thanks for posting the article.
