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."

I thought I already answered. Sorry...

Thanks, I might have missed it.  I feel like I am on here all the time when not working and when I am not I have to run through all the pages to read everything and still miss stuff.
I completely understand. I have goten to where I close the page after I read the message and open a new one with each email.  It can get a bit crazy. I may not have actually hit send last time becasue I don't see it anywhere either.
Ramada has the meet and greet the night before PIR.  Anybody decide yet if they are going or not.
if there are no delays getting there and I am not completely wiped out after working all day and then traveling... I may go. For me, it will be a last minute call. Although I travel regularly for my job, I still get worn out after a long day! :0)

Hoping to get an excused absence for my daughter who is in high school for Thursday and Friday.  GF not going to miss any of her Thursday college classes between now and then so she can miss her one Thursday evening class as excused.

My daughter is worried that she will not be able to exempt finals if she misses Thursday plus Friday - it leaves her no cushion for illness.  She missed one day this semester with a fever.  She can only miss 3 days.

 

Older daughter has no Friday classes.

My daughter has decided not to come. She says that it is too tough for her to miss classes on Fridays. She is working very hard to improve her GPA from last semester where she had one blemish. It is sad, but I will be there. I don't know if my son's dad and step-mom are coming. He did list them and I sent them an email with pertinent info. He listed me and my boyfriend also. Not sure - but I may be going by myself. I won't tell my son this right now, but my 11 year boyfriend may be on his way out. It is funny how an event like this can show different sides of people. oh well - I am so looking forward to seeing my son!
My daughter could stand a slight improvement in her GPA also but is still doing well.  We go for her driver's permit next week, which works out so she will have ID when we go.

O.M.G.  11 years and THIS is the thing that does it?  Wow.  I am so sorry.  Yeah - don't tell your son.  

 

Sorry about your daughter not coming - there is a chance that my older daughter won't be able to come but right now, she is planning to.  

Yeah - I know he is not used to seeing me like this and it may be odd for him. He simply started to become argumentative with me and I said that this is certainly not the time. I told him that if he couldn't be supportive and not argumentative, that I just needed to go through this on my own. I haven't heard from him in 3 days, so my guess is that he cannot be supportive. I am not sure how I feel about that. i am simply focusing on my family and I may or may not sort that part out later.
Oh - I have no problem going on my own. I have done many things on my own in my lifetime and as long as I go see my son, I don't care if anyone else is around or not.
