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."

Im not too sure BUT it does not sound good ........my dad was 100% Polish also, but I have never heard of chicken city ! What made me soooooo mad was that I was in Chicago and never even thought of it being an extremely big polish community. Could have gotten down and had some real kielbasa, .pierogies for some reason I was busy thinking of other things ! LOL

Rose R: You continue you impress me with your growing knowledge online research! You can do anything when you put your mind to it.

I dont even know what I would do without you guys ..........
I swear its been said many times and many ways, but worth repeating YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST !! Catherine thank you for this child N4M, I have made some of the best friends here. They all understand, and give such support especially when needed the most !
Rarely do I get down, but today after last nights news, and today's birthday. (gosh he is just a baby at 19 today) Just feeling a little out of sorts. I know the reality is he is great, safe and probably not caring that he is away.
But darn it I do ...........and what happens ? My Navy Moms hold me up and say tomorrow is another day. Everything is gonna be alright :)
Thank you Thank you Thank you
I really do Love you guys !

Molly,
Just wanted to say I know how you feel today. Josh had his birthday on June 24th and I did not do well at all. Even when I called him that night he was having a great time with his friends and I got to talk to him for 2 minutes. You hang in there girl. You have been such a great friend to all of us here. Remember all of those good times that you had when he was at home and think of all that he is doing now. Have a great day!!
HUGS TO YOU(((((((((((((((((((((((((MOLLY)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

We're here for you Molly!!! I said earlier go buy a cake and eat the entire thing - but I changed my mind - a gallon of chocolate icecream would be better!!!
Do something for Colton today - it might make you feel better. I plan on making a Happy Birthday poster and take several pictures of different groups of friends and family holding it. Then, I am going to send it to Derek on his 20th birthday!! Get a cake and make a video of someone blowing out the candles for him - I guess I am saying celebrate anyway - you are the one who went through the pain to have him - you enjoy the day - go get a massage!!!
