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."

Residence in has them, we had a nice little suite with a kitchenette, it was just under $100 but we had plenty of room to spread out and relax --- and we could have cooked if we had chosen to :) Wherever you call make sure you ask if there is a Navy discount --- we came out better that way than with our AAA discount

Gah, you gals are lucky to get letters so early! It take 5 days for mine to get to him or to me! Which means when they go out Mondays, I don't see them til Friday or Saturday! The holiday has screwed it up for me for sure. Makes for a really really long week.

I Said yes.... but that was Thurs... this is a different day of the week asshole!

That's the easiest part. what to wear! have 9 different outfits and lots of sneakers. 21 days seems like a long time, but there's alight at the end of the tunnel. YEH

I am going to be doing some cooking for my son before I leave. We are driving so I was thinking of making his favorite meal - meatloaf and mashed potatoes. He left for bootcamp in such a hurry (the recruiter gave the guys the wrong day so they shipped out one day earlier) that we didn't get to have his going away dinner. I hope this makes up for it. Can you all believe we only have 21 more days to go? I am giddy with excitement. The letters keep coming in. Some are short (6 words) and some are long. Anything we get from him is a blessing. I hope you all have a wonderful day:-)
