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."

Six Flags????? Haven't been there in years. Used to take our three sons there and to AstroWorld in Houston and Fiesta Texas in San Antonio. Think I was a bigger kid about going to amusement parks than anyone else ever was. LOL

Homeschoolmomof7, Yes, I know of which church you speak. I went to high school with the founding pastor's son. Not sure if he is still there or not. It has been a good number of years...ha ha.

MommaGirl, I am not sure if it use to be Rush Creek Baptist but it is on the corner of Green Oaks and Bowen! We moved here only about 6months ago and have been attending that church for about 3 months! we live in Desoto right now and will hopefully be moving to Arlington this summer!!

Homeschoolmomof7, Is the Church on Rush Creek the former Rush Creek Baptist right there on Green Oaks just west of Bowen? I don't attend there but my folks live close to there.

My SR is not going to enjoy his time in Groton if the weather continues! I will be praying for safety of all of those there.
oh! We had looked that direction before we moved here! We would love to be out in the middle of nowhere!!! We need land for all these boys!!! We did travel that way for a soccer tournament a couple months ago! I loved it!! But now with my husband now working with the VA hospital we are stuck to the South side of FW.

Hello Texas Navy Moms!
I am in Arlington, TX. New to N4M and this page. Our son talked with recruiters his Sr year of high school and almost went the NROTC route but ended up not going that route college.
He will enlist in May/June of this year.
Immersing myself in so much this site, its forums and groups has to offer and look forward to going through this new chapter in life with other Navy and Texas Navy moms.
