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."

Dumb question here.....I printed out the parking pass intending to write info. on with a marker or pen. Were any of you able to type in your info. before printing it out? Cuz it wouldn't let me type in info. But I figure since we had to have the password to access it anyway, it should be fine with the info. written on, right?

I couldn't type it either, so I am printing on it. It should be fine. I'm sure it would say at the top if required it to be typed.

LOL @ Bell....I needed the chuckle...just the mental picture of my son ironing ANYTHING is humorous but his underwear is down right funny. I am so very anxious to get to Great Lakes but I got some stinky news today. I work for a University Concessions provider....I have to work EVERY football game, which is fine because I just knew that we would have a day game on the 2nd - so I was going to drive the 6 hours on Thursday, do graduation, spend some some time with my kiddo, go back on Friday night - do the game thing, be done and on the road back to Chicago by 8pm...spend Sunday with son and drive back home late Sunday night. Well....for the first time in forever - we have 3 night games in a row. I will not get off work till around 4am on Sunday Morning so there is no way I can drive back. I know I am luckier then some that I even get to go but so very sad that my plan isn't going to work...My hubby, little ones and my mom are staying till Sunday so he will have some time with family at least.
