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 wish i could say i am feeling great from recieving the form letter but that wore off real quick i miss him so much. Plus it hurts to see that our dog is having a hard time with him away.... She really didnt sleep last night and kept jumping in the bed to sleep on his pillow i felt so bad for her it breaks my heart i know she is a dog but she has feelings too. I really miss him so much i need my first regular letter.

desiree, make sure you give the dog plenty of attention to make up for your SR being gone. i've seen my son's dog go through that before and it's very sad to see even the dog is hurting.

Hi, everyone. Hope you have had a good day today. Check out this cute comic strip I found today...
http://www.military.com/cartooncontent/0,14763,Ricky_031706,00.html
I printed out a copy of it and plan to mail it to my SR tomorrow. I'm sure he could use a good laugh about right now. :)

On a technical note, I noticed that our posts are displaying in chronological order (i.e. oldest posts first). (At least they are for me.) Any idea how we can change this so that the most recent post displays at the top?
