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."

It's looking like the middle of Novemeber if all goes the way it is supose to....however Steve is known to throw in surprises just to keep my off balence. I fully expect him to bug out a few weeks after graduation and go to bc early. He graduates hs the 21 of May, heads to the bondrywaters (Can.&Min.) with nothing but a backpack, fishinpole, gun and boat the 22nd. He is planning to be back by the 1st of June. ...So, we will see. At this point I hope he waits untill Sept. to go to bc because I want to do my xmas shopping up in NH. .....It is not just about the xmas shopping, I don't want him to go so soon at all :^)

May 21 is my birthday! Good day! Who knows, may be we will end up together on that one. Chris has to work out a few kinks from his ever so young past that he will be clearing all this up. I was hoping he could get out of here sooner, but it is looking like the summer time. He is my child that likes to keep me off balance!
I sent Bryan to Europe last summer. I spent almost a month enjoying my time alone, but now with him really gone, gone, I miss him like crazy. I do however like missing him from a far. The bathroom smells really nice and his room is clean all the time. I can actually see the top of the dresser.

OH GEEZ Chris,
We are fully aware of what the SEALS do . And I think they are seeking to protect America. But we dont need to have that discussion do we ? Rather we shouldnt be having that discussion. As for me I seek to protect our moms feeling here :) -
