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."

Oh so glad to hear that she is doing well! Wisdom teeth removal can be very painful! renewed! wow! I know you are very relieved! Just recently my sister's daughter and my best friend's daughter had their wisdom teeth removed and both of them got dry socket! It was beyond painful! That's why I got so worried about her Hermomi! Not to mention being in boot camp away from home! God smiled on her for sure! What spirit she has!

Doing good. Received my first call yesterday. She is homesick She said she is coming home after A school but I bet she will go back to AL. She has a boyfriend there we don't approve of. He is no good for her. We are from the north ga. Mtns. She has a beautiful voice. Anyone from GA?

Got two letters from my daugther:
The first one said "We are so blessed to have such great RDCs...they have so much heart!" She goes on to say that she is excited to be fitted for her additional uniforms dress blues, whites, and the peanut butters. And then of course she mentioned the food...again...."speaking of peanut butter the food is amazing!" ... how she gets to eat bacon and jello every day. That girl loves bacon.
Her second letter talks about PIR and how excited she is to see all of us. She was looking forward to seaman training wih the USS Marlinspike and she gave her younger brothers an order to practice their square knots this week. --Gotta love the first borns, always telling people what to do even when they're at boot camp :)

Thank you lorimc I will check out the FB site in am. I am a little sad as well that my daughter has not called since Christmas since I figured she would be able to by now, however, I would not put it past her to call a friend instead since we have talked to her and both her father and I work nights. Can't wait to get to PIR!
Thanks all!
