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."

Yes, my son couldn't handle the loans piling up and going into a ministry field. He wanted to go into the Navy to fly a jet, but failed the peripheral test. But, he did get offered an air traffic control position, so he will have a good option there too if he doesn't ever finish his degree. Oh and he is thinking about the Seals deal. I don't even want to think about that, but for now, its the boot camp he needs to finish!

Our son went to Huntington University, a Christian college in Indiana. They should be in the same class in A school. I think there are only 20 of them in the class, so most likely he will be. We'll have to check it out when we get to graduation!! Do you know how much time they have off after graduation and where that time will be off at? He didn't know and was told before he went to boot camp he would have a week off, but even if he does, some said the week off would be in Pensacola!

I'm very happy to have received a call from my daughter. Praying that you get one today Maria! Our daughters are good friends! If I would have thought about it I would have told my daughter to let yours use her phone card if that was causing her not to call you...I'm sorry I didn't think about it til after I got off the phone.
I need to clarify things about our SR's if you all don't mind. I don't seem to be able to keep up with 7 groups, my facebook and my daughter's facebook. So here goes...please correct me if I'm wrong or add things I leave out!!
hco (TN) - your SR is a daughter - where is she going to A school
maria (TX) - your daughter & mine are Nukes...good friends
esther & jessica - your husbands are bestfriends
esther (KC) - your husband is an air traffic controller and going to Pensacola
jessica (IL) - your b/f is a Nuke
Star - your SR is a son and a linquist
Abby - your son is possible air traffic controller
Who plans on attending the meet & greet at the Ramada? I am going to try and make it in time. I only live 4 1/2 hours from GL so I am driving...they just called from the body shop...my car will be done next Wednesday!! YAY!! :-)
I really enjoy talking to you all and I keep you all in my thoughts knowing that you are all going through the same as I am. I hope everyone has a fantastic day and remainder of the week!!

Esther,
I read somewhere on this site that our graduation will be outside and there will be no more than 4 people allowed per graduate - even kids. Have you seen that?

oh wow, that's awful. BUT the good news is, he can come over to the base for the celebration after graduation. Sounds like they're going to have bands and all kinds of activities. So maybe that will be good for him.
Can't wait to meet you all!!
