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."

So very proud of my son...now come the tears

Posted on March 21, 2010 at 7:01pm 14 Comments

Ok Moms....Am I wimpy or what? My son doesn't leave for bootcamp until July and already I find myself getting choked up. My family and I are so proud of him. Being in the Navy will give him some great opportunities and also give him an appreciation for our country. My father was a World War II Navy Seabee and so it is with great pride that my son will follow his grandfather in the same military branch.



The question I have is: How do I stay strong for him? I feel like an idiot when my… Continue

JoAnn! Your note brought tears to mine and my husband eyes... thank you. And how were you able to meet Joe? Brian and him do not have class together. They must be friends?? You are so sweet to take pies to the guys :) I can't wait to go see him. It's my husbands and my Christmas present to each other. How much time did you get to spend with Brian? I am thinking that we will get Joe for a Saturday. How did you get Brian on Friday? From one shorty to the other, thank you :) Karen

Hi JoAnn, Joe seems to be doing well. He took a math test today and scored 2nd highest in the class. This is from a kid that didn't do well in high school or the university at all... so that is quite a feather in his cap. He told his brother that he wishes he could have done college on his own, but... he knew he needed a very strict environment, so now we have the navy. All these years, my husband and I thought we were strict, but unless we were like the military... Your son is not an MM, correct? Joe said he wouldn't be in his class unless he was an MM.
All in all, I think Joe is okay. I know he misses us. We love talking to him. He is very busy. Worries about breaking a rule... Have a great time with your son. I envy you :) Karen
