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."

Nadia, glad to know someone else is "enjoying" this 80 degree weather with me! I feel for our girls; I know mine has never been in weather so cold as what they are experiencing in Great Lakes. I do hope they have found each other and made a connection.
I'm hoping we might get a letter either tomorrow or Thursday if they were permitted to write on Sunday. Every night I try to write a little to her and mail something every other day. My husband told me she probably doesn't have time to read all the letters I've written . . .but at least it helps me with the missing her by sharing my day and asking her questions. The question part is kind of like when she was home; half the time she never answered me anyway! It's time for a glass of wine . . . .

The trivia question today was very hard! I am a high school librarian and I teach research skills, I thought this would be a piece of cake for me . . . my staff and I couldn't find much of anything! Unfortunately, we were very busy today and I didn't have much time to devote to the research so I'm going to blame it on that! At this point not knowing if someone already posted the correct answer, I don't want to keep searching. There is always next week. The question was posted just after 11:00 am eastern time so I will be waiting for it!

I think if they found each other they are going to be great friends because yours sounds a lot like mine. It really is like talking to yourself lol. I completely agree, mine has never experienced weather as cold as she is now. Hopefully they acclimate quickly and don't spend the whole time sick.

Glad for you Nadia! My son and daughter-in-law received a letter from my daughter today . . . but sadly I did not :(
My daughter-in-law read the letter to me and my daughter sounds like she is doing great.
