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."

Remember the delay in mail because Monday was a National Holiday...praying you get one today but don't get too bummed if it doesn't come yet (yell at the National Holiday List!) ;) I normally get my letter today but don't expect it until tomorrow (if I get one).

It's been over a week... I have to assume letter #5 is lost in the winds, never to be seen again. I'll just hope something shows up on Friday!

My son is a Section Leader #1 and Commands the Honor Guard for graduations. Any other parent have a Section Leader? He says there are six. Anyone attending the meet and greet at the Ramada?

My SR is a Section Leader too...going to Sarge's - I need all the info I can get! LOL Any plans after the Ramada meet and greet? I am not sure what I have going on after Sarge's (I am bringing my mom so depends on how she feels - maybe get her back to the Marriott and settled then I can go back out to meet with some of you :) I will have my SR's girlfriend with me and I am sure we will both be too excited to rest! LOL

I was thinking about about staying out as late as possible Thursday night, as well, but I may try to hit the hay around 10.... I plan on being with him at the airport plus a 6 am wake up call Friday morning... I'll need just a touch of beauty sleep.

Ladies -- I will be flying into Midway at 2 pm on the 7th and will be renting a car to drive up North. Just me, myself, and I. I would be happy to transport anyone flying in around that time (from 1 - 3:30) in exchange for a few bucks (or just out of the kindness of my heart, it will depend on if my i-panic-in-planes tranquilizer is still clouding my judgment). It would be nice to spend as much time around other people as possible so I don't go insane from the excitement.
