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."

Our SR is in 333 and we did not get a call on the 7th either, but we received a letter a few days afterwards saying he'd been sick. No telling what the reasons are, but surely you'll get one soon.

Got another letter today. It was written on the 5th and she sounded much better in the letter than she did on the phone. Things seem to be going well and she is making friends. Glad to hear that they are starting to work together and making friends. The phone call must have just been to hard to hear my voice to hold it together. Hoping for another letter soon and cant wait to see her!!!! She has made friends with a couple of girls from TX so moms lets keep our ears out.LOL

Yes, every letter that my daughter has sent sounds very positive. I agree with the voice thing. Being the first time to hear mom's voice in 3 weeks must be hard for them. I sure hope they continue to make friends.

I got another letter too!!! She says it sucks but she is getting through it and misses alot because of being medical yeoman. But she is passing her tests!! Guess she stepped on her ankle wrong, but getting throught that too. She did say that they made their division flag and it has to do with Star Wars. So looks like I am definately going to buying the division tshirt for the whole family. Still no call yet. She misses seeing us so maybe she didn't want to call to hear our voices. That's ok. But deep down would love to hear hers.
