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."

Bethin NY I truly feel that after this week things will get better. Both with the phone calls and letters. Matt will have received my 'yes or no' questionnaire next week which I think he'll reply to.
And hopefully all the boys will be done with the wisdom teeth ordeal and will be available on the weekends to call.
At least that's the story I'm telling myself today :)

Heard from my Boy - teeth out, shots done & determined to get to the end. He has to go back to dental for a root canal revision on the 6th - looking forward to sitting down he said. He was disappointed that they lost 5 min of phone time since some guys keep chatting after lights out - says it's a young group, but has faith that everyone will get it. Bittersweet to speak to him, so glad he is ok, but missing him always. Relieved to hear "I'm ok Mom, love you & miss you". No tears till I hung up, pretty proud of myself. Cheers to all who got their call and hugs to those who don't.
