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."

Does anyone know any hotels that are nice but inexpensive. I want to book some tonight I think. I really can't wait now. It's funny we were all soooo sad a few short days ago, and now we all are soooo excited and happy for our kids.
I still have a few "moments" every now and then, but for the most part, it is all good!! I hope they get to write this Sunday, although we will be on vacation next week when it arrives. I sent my son his first letter today... 4 pages long... typed!! I started to write it by hand but it probably wouldn't have fit in the envelope!
Calvanlove- I see your husband is the same shp/div as my son. What is he training for, my son is air rescue.

My husband left on 8-3. I received his Form letter a week after he left. He is on Ship 4 DIV 821 and will be graduating on 10-1. I absolutely cannot wait for this day to come. It has been a hard long week and a half. I am so relieved that I now know I can keep in close contact with other wives/moms that have sons/daughters/husbands in the same Ship/Div. I will see you all on Oct. 1!!
