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."

Conrgats to 149, with one exception! We have sailors now!!!!!! I expected a longer phone call but at least he called. He said he would write more details for us. He said they lost the CNO because of the one who did not pass-it lowered their divisional average too much. They were very close and pushing to get the honors. But I'm still proud of them. He said it was quite the ordeal. And it felt good to take off the recruit hat and put on the Sailor one. He said he cried. I bet most if not all of them did.

Oh happy day! Got the call around 3:15 eastern time. R was very tired and sick again. Couldn't wait for lights out tonight. Said next week would probably be pretty boring. Imagine that. It's been quite an experience, this Navy BC stuff, and looking forward to the next chapter. Happy Easter everyone. Jesus is the reason!

I'm having such issues finding a scarf!
It was 91 degrees here so scarves left a few months ago!
I've put up a picture of my face so that if I just cannot find a scarf maybe you can recognize me by face!

No kidding! I am in San Antonio and had the devil of a time finding one. Finally found a off white (cream) one at Kohls that will go with my dress.
