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."

Stacey,
I can relate totally to that. My recruit is the youngest of our 5 and I'm hoping that he can handle anything after surviving being the baby of 5. lol In his note to me, he said it was kinda like high school, except angrier. lol

Betsy - On a good day the 2 year old beats her...however those are few and far between :))) We told her we are going to have to find a home for her dog last night. We have had him for 2 years and he pees everywhere...beds, floors. He will stand by the front door and as we are putting on his leash to go outside he pees! She said she would rather get rid of her sister! Needless to say I then had a very upset 10 year old who is convinced that her sister doesn't love her! Susan

Susan, Oh, that is sad about the dog, but I can understand why you need find a home for it. ((Hugs))
I understand how the tongue of a 17 year old can be. Yikes! Your poor 10 year old. ((hugs)) to her. She is probably too young to understand that the world is supposed to be revolve around your other daughter. I have had those discussions, for sure. Sometimes, 19 year old daughter can be pretty nasty sometimes and Adam was usually her target.

from Ft. Worth Tx.. . 1044mi or 998mi depending on route. Either way - YUK. Glad I'm flying. Just me and Joe's girlfriend are making the trip. Leaving crabby teenage son and 4yr old daughter at home. I have a sneaky suspicion that I'm going to catch up on my reading in GL - being the third wheel and all.
