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."

I just got off the phone with my SR. She cried when I answered & of course I started crying. We got a 15 min call. She is doing good, she has passed everything but the run. She is actually gaining weight because the food is pretty good, she said that div 015 is starting to pull together as a team. She sounded so good. I am one HAPPY mom!!!

One year my SR told us that for her birthday she wanted to go to a real restaurant where you went in to eat & they had real glasses & forks, not plastic ones...LOL Needless to say, we took her to a nice steak house.

My daughter could stand to put on a little weight. She was very active in high school, she played basketball, softball, track & pep squad. She is also tall & thought that she had to be the same weight as her 5' tall friends, who were all 100 pounds or less. It made me feel a little better to know that she is gaining some weight.
