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."

My husband said he wasn't going to be homesick either! But then again I know how that goes. You want to be strong, but I know they all have a hard time. Thank you for being such a supportive Mom! I can't imagine having both my children in the service. =)
I'm sure you will hear from him soon.

Welcome! It's funny how they say "I'm not going to do/be like (their sibling)" - and then they are!

You will find all the loved ones here. If you read the posts most of us will tell you where our SRs are. So, my husband is also in 09-338. =)
Have you heard from him yet?

My brother in law went in to the air force three months prior to my husband shipping. He really really hated it so there was a huge competition of who was going to get through it easier.

Yesterday evening I had a phone call from area code 847 and was all excited but it was my credit card company. I was so bummed. This should not be so hard. My son is 23 years old and has been out of the house on his own for 3 years. He moved back home for 8 months when his lease was up while waiting to leave. I got use to having him around again. Sorry to hear that no one has had a letter yet. I was hoping that they might have gotten to write on Sunday and I would get a letter today.

We're figuring tomorrow (Thursday) should be the day for letters, but I haven't received today's mail yet. It seems like I've received things (the box, his form letter) a day after the folks in the Northwest, but it's probably too early to call that a pattern... I'm going with the idea that no news is good news. That being said, my house is very, very quiet. My husband was just outside the base yesterday and called me from there - I think he's missing our son more than he lets on! Hang in there!

I am thinking tomorrow too even though I'm located in Oregon. I figure if they sent it Monday it'd arrive today or tomorrow. We'll see!

Anyone planning on going to PIR, I called Navy Lodge yesterday and they have rooms available. You need to tell them it's for graduation and you can make it even if you aren't military. $65 per night and no taxes is definitely cheaper and closer than what I've found elsewhere.
