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."

I can't wait until I get home to see if I have received a letter from my son yet. I hope I have. I have been sending him letters since i received his address as well. Hopefully he has received them.

my daughter read the letter first, she grabs the mail, but she refuses to write him, I am not sure why, she is 16, that is probably why, lol. I know she is proud of him but maybe she misses him too much, no clue. Can't wait to meet you ladies at PIR, are you going to the meet and greet? We are from near Buffalo, NY, where are you guys from?

Hows everyone doing out there on ship 09? I know many people are on the facebook page as I am, make sure you keep an eye on the Basket Raffle discussion, I am trying to get to both places, but just in case!
I have some exciting news coming soon! AND only 23 more days to go! YIPPEE
