OPSEC - Navy Operations Security

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."

Oh and guess what I got my phone call from her yesterday and yes she sounded so grown up. It brought tears of joy to my eyes just to hear her voice after 3.5 weeks of nothing but letters and the kid in a box.

Thank You Robin,
Yes I am attending, I will be there with bells and whistles. Is there going to be some type of meeting grounds for the parents so that we can get to put names with faces? I would love that. Share some experiences and just sit back and be proud parents. LOl -

Lorimc, are they just going to be regular white scarfs, or are they special made? I did sign up for the meet and greet, it is going to be an awesome day. I can't wait to see my daughter, just hearing her voice yesterday made my day. She has grown up just by her voice she seemed different. I am just wondering if she is still sucking her thumb. LOL yes she does or did suck her thumb.

Hope must be traveling home! So glad to meet you jasmne's Mom I will e-mail you too! I'm so very glad they called! I just can't get over how much my SR has changed and stepped up to the plate! I was just so excited hearing his voice too! Laundry Huh? Isn't it funny! He told me a funny story about another RDC calling him out by a horrendous name yesterday. I was a little taken aback because he seemed a little bit boastful about it. Here I'm thinking gosh why would the RDC talk to him like that. Anyway I asked my husband about it when he got home last night and he told me that it's like the thing for the other RDC's to pick on the other divisions and make them look bad! okay! Guess that's a guy kind of thing! LOL! Anyway what a day yesterday! So happy for everyone!

Welcome Jaszmne's Mom!
We got our call yesterday while we were on the road! He had just had his wisdom teeth removed a couple of days before and spent two days recovering and had 1/2 a day of light duty. He says he knows everyone I mentioned in the letters, but hasn't talked to any of the girls yet. He sounded great! He really likes and respects the RDCs.
The call made our day!

Hermomi - You are never going to be alone in this! That call will come and it will be all the sweeter because of the wait. In the meantime, you have all of us. I don't think you could shake this bunch if you tried. We are all going to have our turns of being the one waiting for the phone call or letter - just so sorry it's you right now. As soon as she calls, we'll have an online celebration! I'll bring the virtual booze if you bring the virtual cake!
Anyone else up for bringing the virtual chips and dip?
Love ya!

Hermoni,
Don't worry I didn't get a phone call either! Just praying that I get one soon. I know eventually he will get one just have to be patient and his time will come. So i am in the same boat with you! :)
But I am thankful for all you ladies...thanks for sharing all your phone calls. It gives me hope that my husband is doing well too.

Those calls will come! Double celebration when they do! And while you wait, just make plans for PIR . We are all going to have a great time! This part will all be over in a little over a month and then we will get to talk to them so much that we will remember just how annoying they actually are!
Hang in there Becca and Hermomi!
