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 read somewhere if they are processed by the weekend and are staying in GL for A-School (luckily my son is) they may keep their stuff. Either way I figured he may want it for while on Liberty for the weekend. Just a small piece of home.

My hubs is getting a new phone (his was pretty beat up) at the ATT kiosk at the Gurnee Mall and a new laptop at the NEX that weekend. I can imagine they must sell a ton every PIR, lol. He didn't mention the Wii, but he can't have it, I have claimed it. I am sure he will want his contacts too since the birth control glasses they give them are horrid. I think he'd rather walk around blind, lol. Can they have the game systems and tvs? I don't know how big the rooms are and if any of that can travel when they get done there. Just curious if anyone knows the answer to that, can they have "creature comforts" or is it just what can be "carried" essentially?

received a letter this week was so excited. it was actually 4 pages. he had lots to say but questioned why his GF hasn't written. not sure how to handle that if he asks in the next call which i hope is today!! he asked for laptop, xbox, and tv but no mention of cell phone. I am sure that was just an oversight.
Good luck to all of us waiting to hear something today!!
