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."

Heyy!! So far everything is going as planned. I am still dilated 1cm, but he hasn't dropped yet. I go to the doctor Thursday morning before we head up to Chicago to check and make sure I am still at 1cm. Hopefully the little booger holds on for another week...which I think he will.

I should be in bed but I know I won't sleep very well knowing my baby is not feeling well and has to stay awake and be tested like he's never been tested before.  I pray God gives him the strength and wisdom he needs to get through this.  I pray he passed all his other tests as well.  I guess he did since we didn't get a call.  I sent him three phone cards.  I was very disappointed in Giant.  They had none but then the guy seemed sorry for me and came up with some kind of $5 phone card which won't go very far since I'm sure there is a pay phone surcharge plus they charged me extra for 911 service which is crazy since it's not for a cell phone.  I had to go to  Rite Aid to get two other cards.  I got to the post office at 8:30 tonight.  The last mail pickup was 8:00; I am hoping they were late taking the mail so it goes out tonight.  After I mailed it, I realized I didn't put my note in it so I will have to mail that tomorrow.  Talk to you soon.

Forrest, I sent you another picture.  Did you get it?

Whats OS? Um my fiance doesn' t know yet, haha. I think he is going to try out different jobs to see which one he likes, but I'm not sure. Unless they just stick him with a job, who knows haha.
