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 SR is also in Ship 13 Div 099. I am so very excited for PIR. I am trying to turn my tears from missing him into tears of joy and excitement, maybe they are both. I'm getting there. We just decided to make reservations at the Residence Inn for Thurs night & Sat night. They have free cancellation up to 4:00 day of check-in. I am sure most of them do. Mention the NAVY Grad and you save $5.00 (every little bit helps). My quote was $164.00/night--YIKES. How did you fare over Christmas? I was kind of a wreck and still working on it. I had this silly thought that they might get a 20 second call or something so I frantically kept my phone in my hand. We will get through this!

make sure to look around, hotels really vary in prices. we are going to arrive on the 7th and leave on the 10th, hopefully we can have friday and saturday to spend with our son. Have you gotten a letter? I havent and its making me crazy. christmas was too quiet, i find myself shopping and tearing up as I go thru the grocery store, we dont buy as much any more. I thought we might get a call but then again he did say 3-4 when he got there. I know, I work at night and hope I dont miss his call. Be well and stay strong, they are ok.

Something I've done that my grandson liked is to send a self-addressed stamped envelope. I don't send one every day since I know he can only write maybe once a week. I have also sent a funny questionaire for him to answer the boxes of yes, no, or maybe. That way I get my questions answered.
