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 was very hard to talk to him. I was very stressful not knowing, and already being in Chicago. Plus there were lots of areas inbetween Memphis and Chicago that we didn't have phone service. Luckly my husband is Not afraid to drive fast. Everytime my phone showed no bars I'd scream faster faster Ok you can slow down we have servicce. LOL I was a mess. We even practiced my begging and pleading (incase we got pulled over) to please follow us to my phone has service before you give us the ticket, Luckly we didn't get pulled over. I think my family was just trying to distract me.
I'm praying CC gets her call before she leaves the house :)

I am doing much better than B's gf. She really can't pack until she hears from him so she can get the things together for him that he will want from home. Thankful she is doing that packing! I am taking care of lots of stuff today.
Thanks for all the support! I have a good feeling today and am really quite calm this morning!
