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."

Nothing yet. Monday being a holiday it's going to take a little longer. It took a week for me to get my form letter. We gotta just hang in there. I still run to the mailbox & keep my cell phone close.

Ok Moms, I feel that today is the day we all should get phone calls from our boys!!! In Michael's letter dated 2-19 said i would be about 2 weeks before a call and well today makes 2 weeks!! Keeping fingures cross for phone calls and letters this week!!!!
Keeping myself busy by putting new carpet in my bed room, and getting Michael's room painted and packe dup. He asked me to pack his stuff so his lil sis could move in there because its alot bigger and as he put it she is messy and needs a bigger room!!!
Thanks for N4M are i would be going nuts!! Ok well more than normal!!! My husband joined the Navy dads site but he said we seem to get more information from the mom then the dads!! Way to go Moms!!!
