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."

We are staying at the Quality Inn in Waukegan. It looked ok in the brochure. Right now I would sleep in the car if I got to see my son.
He went in the PACT program so not sure where he will go to school.

Having a hard time today. really missing my son. sigh. I really could just sit and cry all day long.
I hope they get to write home tomorrow!! This is the longest I have gone without talking to him in some form or another.
I just wish that I knew he was ok, I mean I know he is, I mean no news is good news, but he sounded so down when he made his 30 sec call, that's all I can think of.
There are days when I wish he didn't go. My head knows this was the right thing for him, something he wanted and will do good, but my heart, yea well that's a different story.
So how is everybody else doing today?

I'm having a hard time too today. My neighbors probably think I'm crazy as much as I check the mailbox. But it hasn't stopped me from writing him. I think I send a letter, if not every day, for every other day. I also keep an eye on the 900 Div on Facebook. Its a good page with lots of pics.
I know what u mean about wanting to know he's ok. My husband keeps saying, "of course he's ok!"

I too have written every day to every other. makes me feel better. Usually just stupid nothing ramble, but it's something, lol.
Oh yea I am a total stalker on the FB page, can't wait for 951 and 952 PIR's, we should be able to see them then!! I hope, my luck my SR will be holding a door somewhere out of the way, haha.My husband keeps saying the same thing, he was in the Navy back int he 80's, so he's always like, he'll be fine, I did it, it's not that big of a deal. It is to ME!! lol.
