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."

Hello to Buddy and Jean. I was up half the night, this is so hard. I am going to keep my plans of going to PIR.
We need to believe in our children and send prayers that they will pass on Monday. -

That is right Angel. I was up half to night to. Crying and saying where did we go wrong. When I feel down I just tell myself this is not what my SR would want me to do. I am keeping my thoughts positive and strong will for him. And that is what we all should be doing. And now I agree with you Angel. I will go to PIR because I know my Sailor will be there. And I will be there to show him that I had faith in him the whole time. Its going to be a long weekend for them and us. But all of us will pull through.

Prayers and love to y'all -
