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."

Hi Beverly,

how are you holding up?

did you receive the short phone call on Tuesday, we did not.

we think that his cell phone minutes had run out.

Erik did send a long text to his girlfriend from O'Hare airport to say that they had landed safely.

now the waiting is on, as they say no news is good news.

hang in there.

Hi Beverly,

I'm about to leave the office for the week, wish you guys all the best next week.

Take care.

Good morning Beverly,

I just got in to work. I trust the link will get here when i need it, maybe after A school we can 

have something like that in place.

It is of course a wise idea, people  have advised us also to put financial power of attorney in

place also a wise idea.

Erik's A school is in Meridian Miss., on the Saturday after PIR he will fly there.

So we have only the Friday to spend with him.

Talk to you soon,

oh dear, it must be my old age showing, I'm  not being very computer savvy, because i still can't find the forms on the links.

your son is young yet, engine man, where is A school for that?

I'm leaving the office now, so I'll talk to you tomorrow.

At 2:35pm on July 5, 2011, NYfan A School said…

Hi Beverly,

i tried the link you send me, i was not able to find those forms you spoke of.

At 1:53pm on July 5, 2011, NYfan A School said…

Hi Beverly,

our sons name is Erik i think his last DEP meeting is today or maybe Thursday, i will get some more info then. thanks for telling me about the hotel near BWI. that helps me in making some more motherly plans, i think our son is sick of me bugging him. he'll have to put up with it for one more week LOL right. how old is your son? what is he going to do in the Navy? our son is 26 and will be a LS ( logistics specialist). it is becoming all to real Beverly.

At 9:23am on July 5, 2011, NYfan A School said…

Hi Beverly,

sorry i didn't get back to you before now, i only use the computer at the office, with the long weekend and all, but now i am back on line until Friday i guess.

thanks for giving me some more info, dinner on the the11th sounds like a good thing to do for our kids, i wasn't aware that was possible, our son does not tell me much.

that's why I'm on this blog all the time, mothers are way more informative than our kids.

hope to meet up with you and your son sometime during these crazy times.

hang in there, we are all so proud of our kids.

to answer your question  about Ft. Meade, yes he should be at MEPS  that Tuesday morning at FT. Meade we hope to be there.

you guys already had your send off party. Have a good 4th.

probable write you next week.

At 2:32pm on July 1, 2011, NYfan A School said…

Hi Proudofmyson,

Thanks for your command, the 12th is so close now. Our son Erik tells me that he might have to stay in a hotel in Baltimore on Monday the 11th. That takes away another evening of spending time with him. I was going to make his favorite dinner that evening, I guess not. We are so not ready for him to go.

But we are so very proud, what are you planning for your son party wise, for his send off? we are having a large cookout on Saturday that his sister is organizing.
