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."

He said they were leaving to train so that's why he could only talk for a minute. I'm sure that's why your SR couldn't call today.

I'm so sorry, I know it's really hard. Time is going by pretty fast. Have you gotten any letters? I don't think they have a lot of time to write but I know they love getting letters. Keep writing, write often. Even if he's not able to call I know he appreciates every letter you write. Time is going by fast, it won't be long and we'll be there watching the graduation, I promise.

Most of the time I'm ok, but then I have these moments when I start to freak out a little because I haven't talked to my son in weeks, then I need to talk myself down. I miss him a ton, he's such a decent, happy kid. The house isn't the same without him here. I can't wait until I can talk to him whenever I want, or at least text whenever I want.
