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."

Rachel and others -- Yes -- I did receive my 2nd letter today. I don't want to bring all my other Div 142 moms down but this letter was not as happy and full of excitement as the first. I think they have some tough days ahead. He stated that they are all looking forward to graduation. To bad they have 5 1/2 weeks to go. He does mention some of his fellow 142 members (I know I can't state names on here -- I will say one friend is from Tennessee and his mom is a navyformoms member. His other friend is from Texas and they will be going to HM school together. (Hint Hint) :) They only go outside when walking from building to building. He got his military glasses this past Thursday - I bet he looks sexy in those! I think an upbeat letter needs to be written by mom and sent back. Gotta keep our SR spirits up. Hope you all get letters soon.

Dani- Hoping for my letter tomorrow and I know Rachel is too.....I pray for these young men/women every night and hope they know how important they are in all of our lives for so many reasons that they don't even know and many they do.
Can't wait for us to all stand there at PIR with our hearts overflowing with love and pride and with the friends we are making on our way through our piece of this journey.
Talk to you all tomorrow - hoping for the best, but either way - just want to hear from him.
