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."

"BLOG OPS" PIR 05/26/2011 "Little Miss GPS"

That's what I called her. She always started out with:

"Please fasten your seatbelts."

 

Very polite.

 

If I messed up and made a wrong turn, she never yelled at me, just said, "Recalculating."

In spite of the few times I got exasperated with her and said, "Where the heck ARE you taking me?"

 

Couldn't have done without her and had a moment of panic when I LOST her in a tunnel. Took awhile to get her back!

 

FT2 called…

“BLOG OPS” PIR 05/26/2011 Mission 4: Getting our bearings/The Silo/Navy4Moms Meet and Greet

Start time was late. Just pooped.

 

First goal…food…again!

I can’t even remember WHAT we were looking for, but we stumbled onto…the Silo!

Just had to try the Pizza!

We decided to get individuals so everyone could try it with their fave toppings.

The atmosphere is great. The pizza is very good. Nice thick crust with their tomato topping and your picks. We also shared a dinner salad. It’s hard to find places that have the individual dinner salads. Price…

“BLOG OPS” PIR 05/26/2011 Mission 3: Chow, Stimulant and The Navy Lodge

Need to feed the Team…all are suffering from caloric depletion.



I consult Miss GPS, but I think the hunger pangs are just causing a fog.



In me…not her.



So, I type in Wal-Mart hoping that it will bring us close to food.

Nada.

Right about now an MRE would be good…or a Box Nasty (I think they are called Bag Nasty’s now.)

I cruise along and spot…Chili’s!

The Team is HAPPY!

We eat WAY too much…play with the little electronic…
