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."

I spoke with my son. He is still very sick but keeps going. This next week is going to be very tough on him. They have physical test, midterms and some kind of major inspection. He is very tired and sick and is just hanging on. I don't really know any way to help him. It is so hard not to be able to be with him and help him. I can't wait to get to see him. I am happy for you Toni getting to see your LO.

Hugs and Kisses will be plenty!!! I am taking my younger daughter that didnt get to go to bootcamp graduation due to still being in school. The girls have missed each other more than i thought they would. I should have known that the ones that fight the most would miss the most.
