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."

Yes, getting that form letter was a relief yesterday, even if the first thing my husband wrote on it was to not forget about the bills...such a man lol. I miss him SO much, but he's going to be so proud that I've taken over everything perfectly.
Hang in there everyone, the days wills start to speed up as we begin to get our weekly letters. My phone has become a permanent attachment while I wait for a phone call. I know it won't come for another week or so, but you never know.

...yes, therefore...the reason for anonymity on the site! :-)

I can picture it now, "RECRUIT YOUR WIFE IS A SOBBING MESS DROP DOWN AND GIVE ME 50!"

aveomare: I think you're ok so far! :-) But a good reminder to all that we need to be careful what we post here. The purpose of this site is not to attack those training the SRs, but to support one another here. So as long as we all keep that in mind, I think we're fine!

Sohappy&proud: I know the feeling...I missed mine too when my son was there. Turned off my cell phone at midnight, sure he wouldn't call that late. But he did...I got the message in the morning (don't know why he didn't call the home phone, but I think he didn't want to wake me...ahhhhh). Just know that the "I'm here" calls are very short and scripted, with Navy personnel standing nearby, but I know it would have been wonderful to hear his voice directly and have him hear yours. Hopefully the next call isn't too far away for you. Sometimes they have to call home for info, even though again these are short and scripted calls with Navy personnel standing by.

Oh man, I hope my husband's RDC doesn't use anything I say against him! Have I said anything incriminating? hahaha

foreverMom: In answer to your question about "Navy personnel" reading the site and laughing at us...um, yep, I think so! One SR had questioned his RDC, mentioning this site. The RDC's response was: Yep, best website out there.
HA! But that's ok. This site is for all of us ladies. To support one another during a difficult time. So that's what we all will continue to do! :-)
