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."

Someone else said, a few days ago, that they would need a vacation to recoup from the stress of their SR being in bc...NO JOKE to that!!! I feel like I have been holding my breathe for ages.

Well I tried the positive attitude today, had my phone 100% charged, didn't let it out of my sight, well, except once and when it started ringing I hurdled a baby swing to get to it in time...then totally bummed when it wasn't 847-.....sigh. BUMMER!!! 946 should be on week 5 day 1 on Monday or Tuesday. Every Mon. was a new week for them until last Mon. bc of the holiday. So I bet they made up that day somewhere in the week and are back on schedule. But who knows, I am just guessing. Darn this lack of telephone communication!!! I am soo disapointed. I know I shouldn't have gotten my hopes up, but who can help it at this stage?! Grrrrr!
Ok, I feel better. This dark chocolate Dove bar is going DOWN!

Sorry I should have said my son is on Ship 13, Div-323. I was so excited to talk to him that I didn't ask about any other divisions. :o( He said that they were not expecting to get a call but were surprised when told they could and it was for an hour. ;o) I only spoke to him for about 5 minutes the rest he spent talking to his wife. He did say that this following Saturday he will be getting his orders. I can't hardly wait to hear.

I just popped on to see if any of you got phone calls today. I have gotten a few letters from my son but no phone call. It's been three weeks since I last heard his voice. This must be hard for them not to hear from home. I will be praying for you guys. I know no news is good news but I sure would love to hear my son's voice, even if it is for just a minute.
