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."

Hi vikiboo!  My son will going to Pensacola, Fl for A school. He is going for aviation structural mechanic (AM).  My older son and I will be driving to PIR from Ohio, and will be staying at the Courtyard Marriott, it's a bit more expensive, but I thought this is a once in a life time expirence, so why not.  I am hoping to go to Sarge's meet and greet depending on when we arrive at the hotel, my ex husband  and his fiance will also be there.  We will all be at the same hotel, and it's all good, cause we all get along well.

Hope to meet you and other moms from this group, God Bless and wish your family well.

Hi vikiboo! I'm sorry I just now saw your comment. 

Have you checked out the discussion "Your Sailor's Schedule Upon Arrival to GC"? in Nuke Moms? If not, definitely check that out and let me know if you have any more specific questions. :)

If you have, what kind of fields were you wanting to know about? Like their specific jobs or the training that they go through?

Hi vikiboo, no call for us this weekend it seems, but I guess it also means she's fine

I am not sure if its the actaul flu. I believe it has more to do with being the cold. I just hope the sic doesn't hurt him. He finally went back to the Doc and they provided him with more meds. At least he is now on the healing portion and be able to resume. I just wait for the letters which I recieved my 3rd yesterday and the long awaited phone call #3 saturday. I am glad to have this site

Hi vikiboo,We haven't gotten our real letter yet either, will be hovering over the mailbox today like a hummingbird.....

as far as makeup: 1 cake type (powdery) foundation, 1 mascara, 1 eyeliner/eyebrow pencil, 1 lipstick,1 eyeshadow...nothing too garish of course, it should compliment your girls natural colors
