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."

Glad you and jennifer are gettting letters. Me not for a while now nor a call other than our last for only a few minutes. My son hardly ever gets sick (once in last 20 years...) so I think maybe he has just been busy and trying to get everything right. Do you know where your son is going after BC?
Jen - Did your son have his wisdom teeth out? I am glad to see he is still doing good. Only 18 days - we can do this.
Christy - Hang in there. It is hard for the stretches without much contact like now but it will make your marriage stronger. You will do fine. -
