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."

agreed wife64....we made it past Christmas... and was it hard.. but today is a new day... hopefully we will get some sunshine here and me and my hubby are spending the day getting more supplies for letter writing..... I am now on day 12. I don't know if that makes it any easier but.... we are 12 days closer to PIR and seeing our son all grown up.

Today, I wake up with my phone in my bed....but I said: today its going to be a great day...why? its sunday....thats the day they get time to write home!!! so we will have another letter by wed, or thurday...that keeps me going!!!
I begin to research where we can stay for PIR, rental cars, to have a good meal,...for floridians we need to have a good winter coat...and a good pair of boots. Yesterday we had 70 * and today we have 48*...the saylors are at 25*...or less..so I just beging to get ready...its a goal to hug him...and that will keep me from going insane!!!
Well, I have to go write him some more.....I printed his Facebook page with new comments from his friends and mailed to him....Im sure he will like that...just keep him informed....
All of you have a great day, and please, continue to post any ideas, any calls, this group is the best !!!!

At list you have his right division, you heard his voice....and that is fantastic. I know that Jonathan will call as soon as he has a chance....Please continue to post any news...we all need to read that they are happy, focus and counting days for PIR.
If you have time, p lease stop by my job,,,Im working every day this week!
We have 7 weeks untill Graduation...now we get to plan the trip....

Morning my fellow PIR for 2/18! The last few days were tough, but had my 2 1/2hr old to pull me through. Snow is ready to fall here on LI, NY...I have my pad and pen ready to write my Sailor. I was hoping for a phone call yesterday, but since he is only in for 2wks, probably wouldnt be good for moral.
Enjoy the rest of the holiday weekend, keep your chins up...once New Years comes, its only weeks until we see our Sailors.

DebBee-please dont feel bad about posting that you got that call! I am happy too, that you got to hear his voice. :)

DebBee, never feel bad for posting that something great happened for you! Renick is right... we just wanted to gripe is all! We all have our big girl pants on so we can be excited for you!
We all knew Christmas was going to be hard. (Not sure I grasped the full extent) but it's like you getting a new bike under the Christmas tree. We might be a little jealous, BUT we get to live vicariously. I'm so very glad you got to talk to your son!

Yeah, DebBee, I was glad to know that any of them got to call. I'm glad you got to at least hear his voice. We can live happily through other joys. I just wanted to bitch about not getting a call! And, at the end of the day, another day closer to seeing them!!!

Give yourself a pat on the back! We all made it through Christmas. I'm sure it wasn't easy for anyone on here but it just marks one day closer that we are to seeing our loved ones.
