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 have added a discussion page above. Sarge wanted me to get a count of all the kids 12 and under. That will be going to the MEET and GREET. This Thursday. Oct. 31. He wants to give each child a t-shirt. So if you could let me know haw many are coming so I can let him know that would be great. I have also posted this on Facebook. So if you have checked in there already no need to do it again TY. Please pass the word I would hate for a child to miss out. BUT REMEMBER please check in at my discussion page above. Thank you to all.

I have to Thank all of you and your recruits(now sailors) my daughter is ship11 div 420 and three weeks prior to this Friday her Dad died unexpected at 48. This division became one and pulled her through! I know she tells me she has some great prayer warriors. This will be one of my proudest moments in her life but most painful because her call today was a very hard one for her. As proud as she is, she's hurting, we all are, someone is missing.

Tracy that was a very heartfelt moment in my daughters life as well she cried for your family. When she called home she wanted to be there and just hold your daughter. She kept telling me it was a void in her heart because she has a sister hurting among them and there's nothing she could do but pray her heart be healed. I'm praying that you will have the strength and courage to pull through this. I'm here anytime day or night for you I have some big shoulders. You have gained a new family member here in me. With love and devotion my heart aches with you those sleepless nights I will endure with you, when you feel like you want to give up I'll be there to help you piece it back together. Tracy I really do mean this from the heart I am here whenever you need me.
Love you much

Kates other Mom( Karen her Dad's wife) we are best friends. We are staying at the Red Roof Inn with our boys. We just put it together these last 2 days. We are all kind of lost. The boys are 21 and 23 and are looking forward to the adventure. Karen and I are feeling lost, awkward and out of place because we won't be emotionally where all the other family's are, please let me know your plans? I know we would love to be in the company of other families. You can call my cell 6037182132. Its 2:30 AM here in NH and I haven't gone to bed nor will be. I have to meet with them in Nashua at 5AM. Still packing and organizing, well suppose to be(LOL). For some strange reason I am afraid to go, its like reliving Kate initially leaving( she was my baby and only girl) empty nest syndrome BAD, her Dad being gone and then I see her and have to say good bye again, I'm having a hard time facing that.
