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."

No call or letter here yet. BUT this is terribly ironic. We were out for dinner the other day at a Chinese place and of course we got the token fortune cookies at the end.
Mine:

Sometimes traveling to a new place leads to great transformation (other side)
Was hard not to cry! Over a fortune cookie!!!

Did you know that sometimes they have someone from a different division preform with the 900 divisions? My sailor told me this yesterday. They had someone from a different division sing with them in the choir and do a solo. Justinmom, maybe he should fill them in on his talent :-)

Josie and Angie....I, too, wonder about my son needing a hug, and for sure could use one too. I am overwhelmed by how much I miss my son. I am so hoping for a letter.

Josie...I feel the same way. I miss my son also. I wonder if he needs a hug...I know I need one. I also need a letter and/or a phone call. 4/29 will not come fast enough!!

i miss my son. i wonder if he needs a hug. i haven't received a letter & am feeling selfish for not being patient. my son is teh 2nd of 4 -- it doesn't matter how many children you have; when they leave, it crushes your heart. i hold onto no news is good news & feel very confident that he is well & only working hard to do what he has to. but i miss him and i need to know he's ok. and i want to hug him. can't wait for 4/29. ouch.

I feel the same as you oneluvdmom.....I have such great feelings of expectation when I see the mail carrier and then when there is no letter.....ugh..its like a crash. But, if they can do this...we can do this....and yes....chins up.

SailorMom: You should receive a letter from him, assuming he writes.....in the next week or two. Hopefully this week! You could even get a phone call in that time...calls are random but eventually they DO come in. Chin up! It gets better!

justinmom: Sounds like the 900 division missed out on some great talent in your son!
