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."

Thank you, I didnt write it I found it on a website and it helped me out a lot.
So if no one gets a letter and you want to know whats going one go to this website http://www.navy.com/about/during/bootcamp/ it tells what their doing week by week.

"Remember he's thinking of you everyday.
He's sad and lonely from being away.
So love him, miss him and cherish your dreams.
And always be proud to love your Sailor!"

That is true! My mail shoud becoming any time now, so if I get a letter and I hope I do, I will let y'all know!!!!! I hope everyone else gets one too!!!! I know how hard it is, I too finlly started feel a bit down again. I went to Steven's church youth group last night with his little sister and one of our friends, and it was hard not having him there so I started to cry again but it was another step for me! We all will get through this, and when we see them all this wait will be worth wild!! Just remember we have 35 more days until PIR!!!! Yes I know the count down says 34 but it's a day off so you have to add one more day. But the one thing I learned was that we all need to become independent...go about your regular as if they where still there. Its hard yes, but we have to be strong for them because they need us just as much as we need them. I found this little saying and I'll post it up as another comment, it helps through each day becuase its true. Good Luck everyone and take care!!!

Hey Kathy, Im doing good. I went to Steven's church youth group with his little sister and it was hard being there without him...i did cry a bit. But it was good. I am totally up for getting together with everyone.
And for the second comment, I'm not sure. You listen to all of it and then hit the buttons when the one you want comes up..so more than likely yea they do send you there.
