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."

honnalora, i was gonna do the same thing. LTLY in PIR 10/1 had this; glad you beat me to it!
Here's mine:
1. I am the grandchild of immigrants from Italy and Hungary, married to my husband of 27 years (German/Irish), whose great great great grandfather was in Gettysburg in the Civil War (Union soldier). So my kids are a hodge-podge! :)
2. My favorite book is the one I'm reading now! I can finish a book in an evening if so motivated...
3. I can't stand it when I see some of my students with rotted teeth (there's no excuse!).(same parents pay for their cigs and videogames but won't pony up to take care of their kids.)
4. I wish little elves would appear while I'm at work and I could come home to a clean home, with laundry clean and pressed and supper in the oven.
5. My family would tell you that I should always leave the cooking to my husband (but that I do make a MEAN spaghetti and homemade meatballs!) -

Ok, I feel kind of dull, but here goes...
1. I have been married twice, and have 2 wonderful children from each marriage (4 total). I celebrated 15 years with current (and best!) hubby this year, and our PIR date is the date of my first wedding anniversary (SR is son of first husband), so that should be tons of fun. We are all (both Moms and both Dads) going to his PIR, riding together, and staying in the same hotel.
2. No favorite book, but I like to read romance novels as a means of escape (LOVE Nora Roberts), and I also love to collect children's books. I believe it is a sin to throw a book in the trash.
3. I can't stand it when people are lazy. If you are going to do something, do it right, and do the best you can.
4. I wish for good health, true love, and success for each of my children. I wish for a job and some peace and quiet for my husband (he has been home with our two preteen daughters all summer). And I wish for a case of Mt Dew and a box of Twinkies for myself (this self-imposed Boot Camp is killing me!!)
5. My family would tell you I am a little bit crazy, I am a workaholic, and I always see the cup as half full. (This response is directly from them.) -

1 I am NOT a grandma even though my name is Nanna. It is a danish thing! I was born and raised in Denmark
2 I love to read anything in the genre of "who done it?" Murder/mystery. Well except the Dragon Tattoo books
3 poor table manners!
4 I wish I was skinny and in great shape-but since that seems to elude me, I wish people would get along. Pull their share. Imagine what we could get done by just getting along. Faith, hope & charity
5. I don't know. I keep forgetting to ask them! Mostly I hear from my girls I am a little nutty and my son - well- a boy of few words-says I talk too much. -
