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."

Happy Sunday!
I am so thankful for the many Blessings I have today, even my heartache over missing my husband, because him being gone for this reason is truly awesome and we have allready experienced some of the benefits of it. You ladies are so awesome to be supporting your recruits the way you are! Supporting, obbsessing, same difference right?! LOL! I pray today that God Bless the path of each of our recruits and those they meet along the way! May He bestow wisdom and strength upon them! And a phone call home today would be great too! Amen!

Got a letter yesterday, states he ight be able to have phone calls on Tuesday. They got flagged which is good, they got higher than 4.0 on their first test as a division(GREAT JOB!!) He's hoping the division would come together as a team instead of individuals, because they will need to work togeter come Battle stations, says there are a few who "act like they don't care, but hopefully we'll come together."

I too am hoping to hear from my son. I haven't heard anything since the day they had to do mountain climbers. So, I count on you ladies for information. In the beginning I know that he could only use one envelope. He would send a letter to us and one to his girlfriend in one envelope. Now, she went away to college so I think she's getting the letters. It's okay. I understand but want to stay in the loop.

Cindy, I booked at the Navy Lodge, they have pretty much everything the other hotels have. I was told they do have internet access. They do not have a shuttle to PIR, but they are just 1 mile away, so I think we will be fine with our car. From what I've heard, it's basically right around the corner. Seems very nice and a very reasonable price. Havea good day, all. Hope for phone calls!!

Yeah, after I thought about the nutrition I gave in. I havn't given him Nutella before, but I have tried it and like it. He likes pickle and peanut butter sandwiches too. Funny thing is, my dad used to eat them all the time. He passed away before he could meet my son. And randomly when my lil guy was 2 he asked for a peanut butter sandwich with pickles!
