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."

Jappyjship, I'm sorry it is so hard. Been there and have done it. I wish I could say it gets easier but the only thing is when you get those calls. It is so perfect. It sort of makes up for it. The homecoming is fantastic too. Just keep looking to that.
No, I don't want to sleep it sort of cause me to be nervous. I would rather see the shore. Will send pictures, it will keep my mine off of the dizziness . but might be weird pictures depending on how non dizzy I am. LOL.

Jean, good things at the end of the boat ride, have fun. Take pics.

jappy, praying for your son a safe deployment. Awesome that your girl will be so close for awhile!
Comment by Jappj on August 29, 2014 at 10:11am

Jean enjoy your trip! I am sure it has been great I know I have been kind of quiet my daughter is on hold in GL til 09/20 when she will attend CS/LS school in Fort Lee Va so excited for that as it is only an hour from me I will see her every weekend when she is here.  My son left last Friday for Deployment and it has been very difficult as it is our first one so my emotions have been on a rollercoaster ride!!! Hope all have a wonderful Labor Day weekend

The best part of the trip is I love the place were going. It's a little town that have always loved.

Comment by andrea on August 29, 2014 at 9:58am

Comment by Catsmom on August 29, 2014 at 9:51am

Blondie...have a fabulous time!
Jean, sorry you have to go when it's no fun for you. Make him do something special in exchange:)

Good Morning to Everyone

Blondie, Safe trip. Enjoy it. Relax. Get enough hugs to hold ya. 

Happy Labor Day early, I will be gone all weekend. Going on a stupid boat ride with hubby. He likes sailing, I don't. My inter ear thing makes me dizzy all the time and being on a boat is not funny. I don't get sea sick but I just don't like being dizzy. 

Comment by andrea on August 29, 2014 at 8:08am

Blondie Sooooo excited for you!!! Safe travels and give our Sailor a huge ((HUG)) from all of us!! Looking forward to hearing all about it and of course pics of the happy occasion too :-)
