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 fiances school is AECF

 

Still no letter :(  Maybe tomorrow...
I got mine today. It will come I promise.

Zacsmom:  I was surprised to see that my SR wrote on 12JUN11 but was not postmarked until 6/14.  I don't know why they weren't sent out Monday.  Maybe you will get yours tomorrow.  Fingers crossed.  I'm hoping since Sunday is Father's Day they will get to make a phone call

yeah i hope so, i just want to find out how he did on his tests
I am hoping they get more calls on Sunday. I really would love to know if he can talk to his daughter. She told me yesterday she wants to tell daddy happy daddy's day and tell him about her tumbling class. I really hope they can call. It has been soo alone at the house and Kalli misses him. Oh please write your boys guys. It is the confidence booster they need!

My SR called last Sunday, We recieved letters on Thursday, all mailed out together.  And he called again tonight!!! :-)  I was so excited.  He only had 10 minutes tonight, and on Sunday he had about a half an hour.  He is going NUKE.  He thought they were leaving Monday after PIR, then he said someone had said it was going to be Saturday, so who we don't know.  He had a root canal and several fillings today, so I don't know if that is why he got to call or not.  But it was great to talk to him, I hogged the time and did not let him talk to dad or his brothers! 

I talked to mine today!!! He called me and said he missed me and loved me and can't wait for me to get up there. I was sooo happy. I am ready to see him. He was telling me about how he is getting lasik eye because he can't stand the glasses. I love and miss him so much. I hope y'all got to hear from yours as well.

omg wasn't that phone call just wonderful!?! I did get all of Benjamin's letters also and the first ones were so depressing and then the one after our phone call was so happy and so much better. I can't wait to get more letters!

We haven't made hotel reservations or anything but my mom is really great at getting hotels last second and for dirt cheap so I'm kind of waiting on her for to make them. I am not sure if we'll be able to attend the meet and greet.

Where is the meet and greet and do we have to have an invite there?

The Meet & Greet is at the Ramada Inn.  You've already been invited!  It is for all 7/22/11 PIR on 7/21/11 from 6pm-8pm.

f

No like I did not get an invitation to the ceremony. So would I be able to go? Are the boys going to be there?
