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."

Maybe its just because I'm a nurse.. but seriously the bugs and viruses that they have going around really kinda creep me out! You'd think they'd do a better prevention than what they apparently do. You'd think they'd teach health prevention or handwashing classes now, so that when they're on a boat they don't all contaminate eachother. I'll be glad when J is home and can build his immune system back up! Glad you're son is doing good.. its going to start flying by now!

Hey Iowa- I'm glad he is doing good. I am sure he will need a lot of reassurance when he comes home and I am sure you will be great at giving it to him. I hope everything works out for him and you. And I am sure he probably knows my husband for 1- he was the MA and 2- he is just a all around like able guy. LOL.

I am happy that he is going to try and re-enlist. Not just say screw it. :) And hey by then you will have enough experience on here with N4M and will be able to start the group and guide everyone. And you will have insight up until this point to help everyone else.

I got a letter yesterday from my daughter and she mentioned several names of people she has gotten really close to, but by last name only. I don't want to mention the last names in public. But here are the first few letters of each name and I would like to say hi to their moms in private. Ma**,Gu******,La****,Sa****,St*****,Gr**. So moms,if they belong to you our kids are friends.

Jerrikas mom, my son is doing the same. Does your daughter want fc or et? What is this about reclassifying, did they have something else better to offer. My son must not have gone for that option because he mentioned he would be on hold for a month.
