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."

Josh did great on Thursdays test and now it is down to comps. I am getting ready for our trip to SC. Today I am cleaning out my car since we will be using my vehicle. I also have to thoroughly clean the house. I work 10 hour days on M-T-W, then Thursday, we will drive 14 hours to GC. Then Friday GRADUATION! Then back in the car for the 14 hour drive home. Saturday, I am having a party for him. (I know, what was I thinking!) I wish I was able to take more vacation time so I didn't have to cram it all in.(we are short handed at work) I will make it work. At least this is a good busy. I can't wait!!!!

Josh called. Passed with 3.58. He is happy Power school is over. He is assigned to take college classes for grad hold. He starts the day after leave. Not to much of a break from studying, but better than cleaning toilets.
