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."

LOL JayDee I guess you are set! But please don’t do laundry tomorrow. Yes Molly is in BC. The last call we got, my younger daughter, husband and I were all there and got to talk to her. Today she called me then her sister then her dad. She said she doesn’t think she’ll get to call again until the I’m a sailor call.

Molly's Mom, your daughter is in BC, correct? My daughter usually made two calls. One to us, one to her BF. One time I missed a call so she called the BF first then called me back. Happy Mother's day to all of you incredible ladies. I'm alone this weekend, but there will be puppy kisses for me. There's an Amazon package on the table and my new washer and dryer just arrived so I guess I'm set.

Karilyn you might be number 2 after a wife but this weekend you’re number 1! Hope she calls you first!
Ladies, for the phone calls, they’re allowed to make more than one? Are they given a time limit for calls?

Perfect!

Oh ladies - I am in that puzzle!!!! Only we won't get over to the western states until early 2020. We're catching all the eastern states we haven't been to yet so we can get all 50!!!!! Then we'll winter in Florida or someplace south until the weather clears up in the midwest!!! Definitely going to Fallon to see Chris and a stop in Vegas will certainly be in the schedule!!! I hope that's not going to be too late for the rest of you but I would LOVE to have this NavyMom get together!!!!

Haha JayDee! And I went home and showed the same picture to my hubby and told him it was you and Oleander! (You gotta love Vegas!)

Got a letter from Molly today.. she got promoted to doing “the senior chief’s board PO as well as the Ship’s Officer (LT) and Ship’s LCPO’s boards” for the division. Not sure what all that means but I think she’s maintaining the calendars for some higher ups.
She also was made an EPO (educational petty officer) to help people study, which she said is nice but takes even more away from sleep time. LOL so happy to hear how strong she seems.

B'sNukeMom, we had tornado drills. We live in one country but it's so different from end to end!
Molly'sMom, B'sNukeMom and Oleander don't want this let out, but I arrived early to meet them. They weren't expecting me and hadn't changed out of their work clothes yet. I got this picture before they saw me:

Wishing everyone a Happy Mother's Day!
