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."

Oh and he also said that he lost 3 inches around his waste. He is going to be so skinny when I see him again. Megan said he is going to be buff! I am sure he will because he said that have IT twice a day and he is doing the laundry for all of your sons that are in his ship. I told him pay backs are hell for never doing your own. He also told Megan that all of his shipmates were smelling her letters and that it was worth getting called a queer to get them. Hw just kept saying to keep sending as many letters as possible because he can't wait for mail call. They get mail every day except Saturday and Sunday.

Ladies I am sorry I have not been on since Fiday. My husband father passed away on Saturday and we were in OK for the funeral. No internet in the country. I got my first phone call from Ethan yesterday and was so happy that Megan and I were together so we could both talk to him. Neither of us could stop smiling after that phone call. I just want to vent a little because he first called my office and my receptionist instead of telling him I was not in or transfering him to my daughter who works in the same office decided to tell him about the death of my husbands father - Ethan's step grandfather. I could strangle this girl. He sounded so good. He did say that they pulled his wisdom teeth and that it was very intense because they were groing in sideways and they had to be cut out. He also said that he did really good on hs inspection. 5.0 perfect score and that he had passed his test on Friday. Go Dog I believe Ethan aas tlaking about you when he said that I was talking to one of his shipmates mom. I have also heard that Andy knew him as well. I am so glad that this week has been full of letters and finally phone calls. 29 days left and I can not wait.
