OPSEC - Navy Operations Security

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."

Was reading through the posts and sorry to say this but, was glad to hear that some of you are missing your guys. Me too. I do hear from him but it is here and there and not for very long. Just chat messages. He just yesterday gave me his address and I"ll be sending his phone. Maybe it'll be better then. I don't know about the holidays yet, but he knows that his older brother will be here early January so I think he is trying to be here the same time. That would be awesome.. keep ya posted.

Joshua's mom, Yes, it does sound like they are in the same group. Kev feels the same way about coming home for Christmas. He wants to save money and vac. time so he will not be coming home. The good thing is that he will be home the second week of January. I get 2 wks off for Christmas so I am thinking about going to see him for a few days. Is'nt it so nice that we can communicate so often with them now?

Hey kev's mom - sounds like our sons were in the same group! Is your son coming home for Christmas? Josh isn't. He's decided to save the money since he'll be coming home two weeks later.

Joshuas Mom, My son is in San Antonio too. He did the pepper spray on Friday. He was not looking forward to it either but glad that it is all over with. He is going to start gun training all this week. This will be our first Thanksgiving without him:( He signed up for a dinner for sailors.
