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."

Great news Helen and jacgue, they don't tell us much do they? Then again, ours never spoke much when he was here either lol. And congradulations Jacque, I remember when we spotted ours in one of the pics, you could just barely see his face peaking out but we were really excited about it. It almost felt as if.... "ok, he's not gone anywhere, he really is still just in the Navy" lol

Got an email from my son. They were in port but he's glad to be back at sea. And that's all folks. At least I know he's alive...

I just signed on a moment ago and had an Email from our son! But he didn't say much, nothing about what they were doing. He just mentioned that he was going to send us his computer so we could get it fixed and getting some books to study for his E-4 exam. Apparently they are cruising around at sea and doing various drills. You know how kids are, they think if nothing extraordinary has happened then there is no sense in telling us anything :o) I just tell mine I don't care, I want to hear from him anyway lol.

Is just that we haven't heard a thing in two weeks. I usually get a one line email, at least. :(

Nothing on my end. :-( I wish there was a little something to hear though. I get emails a little more frequently, but he doesn't say anything about what he's doing.

Does anybody have any news? :(

Haha Linda, that's what I said! But he said it was a leaking pipe. I'm sure he is, I told our son to take way more pictures than he thought he might want because later he will be glad he did. But do you know how many he sent back? About 15 of Greece... TOTAL! And he was there for two days! And though his camera and phone can make videos he didn't make one video. They are so used to me taking all the pictures in the family they never bothered with it.

hmm... a leak on the ship? That just doesn't sound good! lol I sure hope Nick is taking more pictures then just of him holding a beer in his hand with his buddies! :-)
