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."

Thanks ladies for all your congrats.  Winging was truly an incredible experience.  And now...we have a SERE date.  It seems impossible that he is at this point.  I've been watching and reading this site for 4 years or so. And SERE always seemed so far off.  He did get his orders and will actually have time for a house hunting trip and a Navy move this time. But, they will arrive, move in and 2 days later he leaves for SERE and leave his bride alone in a new place.  So, I'll be praying for both of them!

Kris-Congrats on all the exciting news and the new grands!

NurseNavyMom and FlyboyMom-how wonderful to see your kids and families.

Great pic CheriH and congrats on the winging and house sale!

Comment by jamielss on July 30, 2014 at 12:36pm

My DS and his brother are aggies but husband and i are not. DS should wing in the spring and i am so glad to hear about that ceremony. Sounds fun!!

Comment by JudyM on July 30, 2014 at 12:02pm

Cheri, hopefully we will meet up. Hubby has a board meeting at A & M later this year. Not sure I am going with him. Will let you know.

Comment by CheriH on July 30, 2014 at 11:46am

JudyM...a house divided!  Love it.  We are all Aggies.  Hubby, me, both kids, both dil and sil.  With lots of aunts and uncles too.  We get down for most football games.  I will let you know next time I am up your way!

Comment by JudyM on July 30, 2014 at 11:07am

Cheri, maybe next time you are around we can get together. I am an Aggie and my husband is on an advisory board at A & M. In fact hope to get there this fall. My DS's wife is a longhorn (UT). This makes for lots of family fun and rivalry.

Marianne- thankyou, thankyou for the deployment tips.  I will print that up to save, my DS will be deploying for the first time early 2015. And how thankful you must be he is on his last cruise, safe journey!

Cheri- great winging story and you all look beautiful in your photos!

Comment by CheriH on July 30, 2014 at 9:48am

JudyM...It's good that they are used to heat. I'm so sorry I missed you when I was in Sacramento.  Had a great dinner with Paymaster.  Did she tell me that you are a Texas Aggie?  Or was I dreaming that?  

Comment by JudyM on July 30, 2014 at 9:36am
Cheri, loved your description of winging. Ours was a year ago April. It is such a special time. I do hope your son enjoys Lemoore. Pretty toasty this time of year, just drove through that area this weekend going from Sacramento to the Central Coast. Lots of great day and weekend trips from there.
Comment by CheriH on July 30, 2014 at 8:46am

Oh good...glad it's nicer than Kingsville.  I think they are a little concerned that it's another Kingsville.  Out in the middle of nowhere.  Course, that is where they put jet bases!  I'll look forward to Gunny's!
