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."

YAY! the letters are coming! He sounded great...ZanesGirly got a 6 pager with lots of love! lol! Momma got a 'slightly' shorter one but full of reassuring info that he is doing fine. Also included personal notes to bro, little sis and hs buddy whose address at college he didnt have before shipping. His biggest complaint was the BCGs he has to wear...never wore the glasses he was suppose to here..I told him the Navy wouldnt let him off the hook! And...the tidy whiteys..lol! Hes a boxer brief kinda guy and think they are 'rubbing him the wrong way'. If the worst of it, he has it made...Ha!
Thank you for all the good thoughts and prayers for the hubby...hes doing better today and Doc assures us he will be just fine for PIR. Good thing...he says hes going if it means pushing him in the bed!

It is hard to be patient. I am not good at being patient, I was thinking he was gone a lot longer and it has only been a week. This is going to be a long. to long.

Hi everyone, Just wanted to say hi. I worked all day, went to my youngest sons band concert. Missed my sailor. Didn't get a letter today, but I keep checking I am sure I will soon. He has only been gone for a week. feels like it has been a month.
How is everyone else doing?
