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."

Got another call also!! My hubby is sick too. And he is never sick! He finally sounds homesick and it breaks my heart....I know how he feels though. We have been together for 10years and this is our first seperation. Almost done...And then we start our new life!! He asked me to bring his laptop and his cell phone to Chicago and he said he'll be allowed to take them on Sunday. I hope thats right, but I'll pack them reguardless. He told me they only have one more honor flag to get and then their division will be in the Hall of Fame! Sounds like a big deal, our guys are awesome!!! My husband also told me he was almost out of money on his phone card. I had sent out a new one just this morning, talk about timing. I think I am crazy but I got out the suitcase and kinda started packing today....I can't wait!!
