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."

Quiet. Nothing since the letter last Thursday that was upbeat. Said the food was really good, three squares a day and 20 minutes to eat.

I know. Seems like it's getting harder now. The reality of them being gone has really set in. Hope you and your baby girl have a great day today! Every day is one day closer...

I know what you mean. The first few weeks I was ok, but this weekend was HARD!! Haven't gotten another phone call or letter. it's been about 2wks. I can NOT wait to see him. We have everything booked. One thing that I am happy about is that he has most of the weekend from what he told me when I did talk to him, which is AWESOME since his birthday is 2 days after PIR and I'l lbe able to spend it with him at least part of it anyway.
