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."

Hopefully you will get your letter tomorrow. I got mine today. It was short because he got to call. But it was still great to hear from him. I will keep my fingers crossed that you guys will get yours too! :)

I always get mine a day later so hopefully tomorrow. Hard to believe that week 5 is almost over. I find myself wondering more and more how things are going. I want him to call again.

No letter today :( Nobody in the house got one. His girlfriend did get one, she is in the next state over so maybe tomorrow, I can hope. She told me he is ok but had been sick, that's so hard to hear. He did tell her that he will be able to write letters on Tuesdays also now.

I'm so sorry to hear that! :o( Hopefully you get one tomorrow! My SR said they actually get 25 minutes to write on Tuesdays and Thursdays now. So there is still a possibility of a letter for you tomorrow or Saturday!

I'm sure I'll get one soon, he has me doing a few things for him and he is anxious for answers. I didn't hear about Thursdays too, that's great. He better write his mother soon then!!

I was so glad to hear that they can write 3 times a week now. My hubby said 25 minutes isn't enough time to write and mail though. I was thinking, "Yeah it is! I do it EVERY night!!" ;o) haha, men! I'm kidding though, I know that my SR is very careful with what he says and how he phrases things, so I know it takes him more than 20 minutes to write something. :o)
