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."

I just found you all - We're from Deer Park. My son played football and graduated DPHS in 2008; finished boot camp last week and PIR 01/08/10. He's just arrived in SC at A school for Nuke.

Hi there, my name is Pam and i am on the houston, pasadena line. My son was stationed in Dam Neck and would walk around to Oceana for various things, mainly for supplies that they didnt have there. Also it was great exercise since they didnt have any place to work out there. He was in school there for about 6 months, he is FC. I hope that your husband is doing well, i am recouperating ankle surgery from 3 months ago and still am not in a shoe yet, maybe this next week. I found one other person that i met in the jrotc unit from south houston high school, would like to meet new friends also. My son is now stationed on the Truman and loves it. My daughter is a ctm and was in school in pensicola 4 years ago, not much to do there either, and she wished like crazy there was a whataburger there. she really missed that.

Pam, Sorry - I've been so busy & haven't had a chance to log on. My mother lives with us, and has advanced emphysema, so is on the computer most of the time (as that's really all she has to do), so I just get on when I can. Hope all has been going o.k. with your ankle, and that you are now back in a shoe. Let me know how you're doing. I can definitely understand your daughter's missing the Whataburger. I would miss that too. I had an aunt/uncle that lived near Atlanta for a while, and we would have to hit the Whataburger every time they came to visit. They have recently retired to Sugarland, so they can enjoy a Whataburger whenever they want. Keep in touch -- I am so glad to find Moms from our area

Does anyone have a preference? TGI Friday's or Cafe Express? Cafe Express is probably less crowded. I think the prices may be just slightly more at Cafe Express though.
