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."

Calls, calls, calls, aren't they wonderful? Confirmed final tests on 27th, Battlestations on 28th and calls on 29th-of course I will be on an airplane then. First thing he wants to do is go out and eat something wonderful, with dessert!! I forgot all the questions I was supposed to ask, because he woke me out of a dead sleep, didn't get home from my other son's football game in Portland until 2:00am. But sleep is overrated when you can talk your son, right?? Hope everone gets a call, but it sounds like you are. Yea!

I know... I still have so many questions to ask her!! She didn't say what she wanted to eat! LOL It was just so good to hear her voice! I told her to WRITE to me on Sunday, whether she is sad or not!! Poor girl :( She said she was so sad that she just kept practing folding her clothes and making her bunk. NOW if she can heal and be done with Friday, all wil be good!!

Keeping your SR, and all of them, in my prayers for their final tests. Mine said he had passed everything so far, but is having to study hard for his next tests. Also he "hesitated" when they were doing flags and got fired as a flag bearer. So I will have to search for him in the crowd, but I don't care, just want to see him. Hang in there everyone.

Tiff will heal this week....we are all pulling for her!!! I asked Paul if he knew her, he said he thinks he knows who she is (from my description) but, he said that he only knows last names not first names. If you think about it....private message me her last name!
