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."

I guess no one heard nothing else? I hate the suspense of not knowing, Have a good on ladies and keep writing those boys! I have been painting a navy seal coaster for my son this weekend I am trying to stay busy! I also might start with the Pillow cases for troops, I love to sew as well. Guess it is one way to occupy my mind off him for now.... See you later Ladies!

Cathy, no I have not heard from Josh either, was so hoping for a call since no letter. The phone rang while I was cleaning the shower and I thought I was going to have a heart attack trying to get to it. My husband got to the phone first just as we missed a call....looked it was a family friend. I didn't even call her back for fear of tying up the phone. One thing someone asked and we never addressed was the meet and greet on Thursday night at the Ramada....if you go to the calendar to the left of the page and click on the 22nd it will bring up the events for that day and one of them is the meet and greet...you can RSVP there. Everyone have a good night....not long now:)
