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 boyfriend is 11/132, he arrived on the 6th. I thought the same thing, that PIR would be 5/4, so that was a pretty great surprise. I'm already excited, now I can send all the letters I've written him =)

We received a phone call from our SR Michael on Friday. Their division had their first PT test (the run, sit ups, and push ups). They also had their Swim test. He said it is tough, but he is doing ok. He said they get their first free time today(Sunday 3/18) from about 7 till 1. So hopefully we will all be getting letters soon. Micahel said he had earned this phone call by volunteering for something and knowing a lot of information (chain of command, etc). Hope everyone hears or gets letters soon.

We received our SR's letter today as well. :). It was a great 'pick-me-up after the last few days we've had.
My mom, his grandma, passed away yesterday. We sent the Red Cross message and I wrote him of course.
I considered not telling him for fear of adding yet more stress to the poor guy,
But his uncle who retired from the Navy said its better to find out now than to grieve and feel left out later
So we sent the RC message. Me though I worry, as I'm sure all moms would -
