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."

My son's letters are very brief, so you are probably correct, he has liberty due to remaining at GL. Florida will be much more pleasant than Chicago in the winter, but glad we are only 1/2 hour away.

No orders. Just what he's told the GF. Should hear for sure this Friday.
Hope they all make it through BS smoothly. Keeping them in my thoughts.
Good luck with the orders I hope they turn out like your hoping. -

Either way we have to move. If it not to FL then I sign a lease Saturday and move as soon as we get back from IL.
We were told, and he still keeps being told that we will be moved, but his school is JUST under the 6 month cut off that I keep reading about. So I will believe it when it's in writing.
He said when we were booking our flights that he thought he would fly out Saturday or Sunday, we are staying till Monday just incase! -

Sorry for my absence...hubby had a small chest pain episode Monday, so we have been at the hospital. Praying he gets to come home today and doesn't have to have a Cath...that would throw a wrench in everything. Still haven't talked to the gf mom yet...Ugh...
