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."

Awww, Jeanne. She is such a sweetheart. I hope she is feeling better by now. I just try to remember that all the letters that I get are a few days old, so they are probably feeling better by the time I see it.
They took a couple of teeth from my A too.

Boy I bet my kid is glad I insisted he get his wisdom teeth out before he showed up for BC.

Sharon,
I think he is one of the lucky ones. My A had all 4 of his wisdom teeth removed a year ago. Apparently, they decided that other teeth had to go. Oh, and he was just at his dentist at the end of Sept. and all the teeth seemed just fine then.
