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."

Andrew called earlier today (he needed more info for his security clearance) and said they're not getting mail or being allowed to make phone calls because the division isn't doing well. I guess I'll just have to keep hoping for calls for information!

Mail just came, nothing from my Daughter. Has anyone received mail today?, Phone call?
-

No mail or me either! =(
The length of time with no word really is horrible. I live by the phone...I write letters everyday and send her a picture of "Liz in a box" The adventures of her box without her...Thought it would be fun....but its just another reminder that she is not here...I hope its funnier to recieve the where did "Liz in a box go today"
21 days done..38 (i think) to go...almost half way done! -

This waiting is making me crazy!! I don't want to leave house, afraid I'm going to miss Kristine's call. I also have my Son leaving for boot camp on 3/17/10. I hope everyone gets word from loved one soon.

Only recieved a"return to sender" not enough postage. The postman is the one who weighed it and put the 61 cent stamp on it. I had sent my son some stamps and stationary, so it weighed a little more. Maybe tomorrow!

Well it's been 3 weeks, just checked, no mail, no phone calls. I wonder what's up with this? I hope someone will here something today.

Uggghhh hate to hear there diision isnt doing well...
But its hard to know how they are really doing, because they tell every company that they are the worse in the beginning.
The real question to let us know how they are doing..is asking them if they had gotten all the flags the went for.
Flags are a good thing! We want them to get them all.
Do they know they are not punishing them...they have each other...they are punishing US!!!!!!!!!!!!
arrrrrrrrrrrghhhhhh........
Thanks Ellen...hard to believe that baby is now a woman in the United States Navy!! I took a picuture of both my girls in dads uniform top...thinking now one of them should of been in mine....Oh well the grandbabies...which I happen to have one coming i May!! -

Congrats on your grandbaby! Do you know if it's going to be a boy or a girl? My daughter got married in September, but it's probably going to be a while before they start thinking about a kids. It's probably a good thing because they were together less than a year before they got married and less than two months when my son-in-law proposed!
