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."

Hey Nahuh, sending positive vibes your way today! I agree that your regular friends don't know how much you need an extra minute of time, an extra hug or something- it's a different feeling these past 2 weeks.....and it is so nice to have  a comfortable place here where everybody knows the same exact feeling!!! 

Have  a good day today, and may the mailbox gods shine on you today :)

Hi Nahuh,

I know it is very hard on us moms not knowing what is going on with our children when usually up until now we have pretty much controlled their lives. But don't worry you will get your letter soon and that much awaited phone call. I feel the same about friends. I have been so surprised to see have some of my friends say that I was being dramatic.. it hurts. But I have definitely have found solace in this forum. All of us moms and dads are going through the same things therefore  we all can relate. My husband was telling me last night, " thank God you found this site, I was afraid that you would lose your mind if you hadn't" and I have to say, that I agree with him.. lol

We are all here for each other which is very comforting!

Form letter arrived yesterday and we will be at PIR on the 15th of May.  My mother-in-law booked a room/suite whatever it is at the Navy Lodge last night for the 5 of us and now my husband is going to contact his cousin to see if she will babysit our 3 year old while we are at Graduation.

When I got home my husband already had a letter ready to go in the mail. :)
