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."

Sounds perfect. By the way, you can email me at pennyndoug@gmail.com. Let me know what your name is so I can call you something besides proud momma !!!!
I know exactly where that is - what time works for you? I can go anytime, so no worries.
Whoops, not ToGos - I was thinking Zoopas, but I see they are closed for business permanently. So ... your call!!
I am open to anywhere - don't get out too much here in Renton or the Southcenter region much. Have been to ToGos (some salad buffet place over near Southcenter) but that's about it. I'm really open - do you have a place you know of? Makes absolutely no difference if it is a Wendy's, Teriyaki or a nice place like Sizzler.
Emailed you back. So nice to meet you!
i sent you a private message with a question. i didnt want to say my sr name on open post... lol.
hi and thank you! he is ship 14 div 176.
what about yours?
Thanks for not indicating that you would send a copy of the form letter to Marika. To do so would be a violation of OPSEC so thanks for not sending it to her. She must get that info from her SR.
Hi Proudmama, did I see that you said your son is going to SC for A school after PIR? Mine is too! His name is James (Jamie to us since he was born though) and he's our youngest son (out of 4) but we had a daughter after him so at least I'm still keeping busy with her at home. Thank goodness or I'd be a total mess! Thank you for inviting me to be your friend here. I've got so much to learn! Off to bed now though - it is after 10 pm here in NJ and I have to teach 1st grade tomorrow. (I'm a substitute teacher here at our local K-8 school.) I'll write back again...
