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."

it does get a little easier although i still find myself wanting to call him and ask him a question or text him a questions. just the other day his sister wanted to text him a picture of us but then realized she couldnt. we have a count down on our phones that let us know exactly how long we have. not sure i want it or not but my daughters do and so does his girlfriend....I basically rely on God everyday and know that he is in charge and watching over all of our recruits.

I agree it's insane how much what they are doing fills us with pride but it doesn't make missing them any easier! Everyone keeps saying to me it's such a good thing be happy for her which I am but I miss her so much! I can't wait to get my first letter!!

trust me I am sad and proud and scared all at the same time but I know God is in controll and watching over him for me. We were told his grad date is 9-11. we cant wait to see him. i told my girls to think of it as he is at college except we cant call skpe or text him. the girls are going to learn letter writing quickly!

We got his information by calling or emailing his recruiter. I've read it all comes in a few letter room has shortly after the package arrives. I'm pretty sure whoever went that time will have same grad date. Waiting for letters to come hopefully Wednesday or Thursday. We were told a lot of letter writing is done on Sundays and we might receive them on Wednesdays or so. I do know they get mail call every night so wrote as often as you can. My daughter meg is writing her brother now.

Our son shipped the 15th. Firstborn, has a 14u sister missing him, and we're all trying to be tough. It's surreal.

I keep thinking back to the sunday before kaleb shipped out july 12th. he had asked that we all go to church as a family so we did. we are big into going to church. my girls love it. summer is always hectic though. how fitting that we did communion that morning. I hope it is a start for him to start going back to church every sunday. I know they get that option at training.
