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."

How lucky to have 1/2 an hour to talk with you son. Haven't had a phone call from mine yet. Here's to hoping that maybe this will be the week.

I'm so happy that Bo is better.

Dennie--
Cats are funny creatures. My Lily has taken to "yeowling" at me, when she want to climb inside my robe or sweatshirt when I'm on the computer. She will sit wrapped up for as long as I sit.

It gets better, but I still my moments. My guy and I were very close, it was just he and I for last four years. He left on 10/8 and I've recieved two letters and they are written just the way he talks. My hardest time is weekend afternoons, he worked nights, so nights are no problems. Hang in there, we're here for you.
