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."

Yup, my first letter in this envelope from SR also had a comment about having to practice more to perform in front of some Australian dignitary. lol Yes, I think by now they should all know we are "stalking" them as one of my friends said when I told her that we were watching them.

Oh yeah, my SR also gave us specific directions of where to sit so it would be easier for her to find us after the ceremony. :) That will be super great!!!

I know it's on everyone's minds. Tonight they get to accomplish something very important, something BIG. ALL of them have my love and support, I will be sending all of the strength I can muster. I may not sleep very well tonight, but that's ok, I know that I am not alone. Thank you ladies for your encouragement, strength, and love. I know that we all have gone through the roller coaster of emotions in these last 7 weeks, and as we wind down to the last days and before we meet and follow our SR's onto their next step of this journey, I didn't want to forget to extend my deep gratitude for you, your SR's and this website.
Love
Deb

Thank you Deb for saying just how I was feeling. I'm on pins and needles knowing how close we are to hearing the I'm a sailor calls! I had a very busy weekend ( worked the the last 5 days in a row) and my sweet Aunt just had a mini stroke and mild heart attack thurs. ) she is very close to my Sr ( Shelbi) so I have had a roller coaster of emotions lately. It was nice for me to read everyone's posts even though I haven't written any. Can't wait to meet some of you at Sarge's and I want to tell all of you what a blessing you have been to me:) (((hugs)))). Shari
