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 just sat and read this entire thread.....LMAO......could I be serious for a moment? One of the most depressing feelings is when we think we are "alone" in a situation, that there is no one else who can relate to our heartbreak. N4M has shown me that I am not alone, that there are mothers all over the world who are heartbroken and struggling just like me. I just want to say that this is a place of comfort for me and I receive a blessing each time I log on. Love you ladies (and dads too)!!
Oh and I miss the CHATTTTTTTTTT!!!!!

...........when you are shopping for some clothes to wear to the PIR in September.............and all you can think about while you are trying on the clothes you picked out.......................is................wonder what someone is saying here on Navy for Moms.............................LOL

so what did you pick out for an outfit Carol, and shoes? remember to dress in layers.
-

Okay . . . we went to dinner at friends of my husband's last night . . . after we arrived I learned it was a going away party for one of their sons so there was lots of people (and the first time I had met ANY of them) . . .
And (this was REALLY BAD of me) as they're all having these conversations around me, I couldn't help thinking about the computer that I kept seeing out of the corner of my eye . . .
Wonder if they'd mind if I hopped on for just a minute? NO, I can't do that . . . it would be SOOOO rude . . .
YIKES . . . I am REALLY addicted to have even THOUGHT about it!!!!

LOL Steve's Mom, yeah, I got a nice black jacket (which I have been needing anyways) and some tennis shoes for the far walking, LOL
Yes, I figure by the end of Sept., I will be wearing layers!

You know you are addicted when it's the first thing you do in the morning (sitting there in your nightie BEFORE the coffee) and the last thing at night (WAAAYYY too late), eyelids drooping, glancing at the clock, knowing you have to get up early in the morning but STILL...."One more page, one more forum, one more, one more, just one more.......;>0............................
