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."

Visits from gf's mean more then you know! My son's gf has been over for the night the last 2 weekends, we miss him as much as she does and it's comforting to know you can all get together and talk about him. She brought her letters that he had written to share with us and it was truly a joy to read them! Text, call, visit, whatever you can do to try ease the pain a bit. I thank God for her and that we are so close, after all, we're all in this together!

My son's gf is here right now. She went to dinner with us to celebrate my husband's bday. ProudAVMom is right is does help to stay in touch. She was on cloud nine today two letters in the mail and then the first phone call. We have a deal, she gets the call, but must share all the details. It's good to stay connected.

It's great to be close to their parents, from a girlfriends perspective!! I tried every weekend to go and stay the night out in their little town about 45 minutes from mine, to hangout and chat and catch up, I helped with housework and whatever needed to be done. I haven't been out there since PIR, it's been 1 week today since PIR, and I can't make it out this weekend due to being extremely tired and my car making funny noises, but I always make it a point to text them and say have a good day and such, it really helps!
