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 SR is my first to go out of 4 children, too. What an emotional rollarcoaster ride it has been but knowing he choose this path helps to miss him less if that is possible! I am so proud of him.

Hi Ben's Mom-
I'm Sandy, Dylan's Mom, who is on the same Ship and Div as Ben. It's nice to meet someone who has a loved one in the same area. I look forward to talking with everyone. I am new to the site so hopefully we can all keep in touch. Nice to meet you and best wishes.

Hi Sandy, Nice of you to reach out to me. Have you heard from Dylan lately? Ben called last Saturday and we chatted for 5 min 40 sec. Not long but it made me soso happy to hear his strong voice. Where will you be travelling from for PIR? We are on the east coast.

I did! Thanks for asking. Dylan called last Saturday too (it must have been their time to do that). We couldn't chat long either but he sounded so mature and grown up. I was so excited I tried not to do all the talking. I have truly been on cloud 9 ever since. I write to him everyday but have not received a letter back yet. He said he had mailed them so I check my mail right away, everyday.
I will be coming from Minnesota for the PIR. I hope to meet you when I'm there. Thank you for writing back, it meant a lot to me. Best wishes to you, your family, and Ben.

I got a letter from him saying that it really sucked but he is better, not 100% though. I can't wait to see our SR's too! And meet all you and all the other supporters! I find that mostly military people get what it is like to have a loved one away. Have you found that as well?
