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."

He'll be OK Navygirlfriend. My ex got pneumonia when he was In BC and had to go back to the very beginning! He did it and went on to have a great time in the Navy. That was in the 70s and he still talks about the "good ol'days of being a salty sailor.

Happy Friday everyone, three weeks goes by like (snap) that. I feel very blessed to have all of you to share this with. I'm praying for all of the recruits in GL to be safe and complete their first mission, Boot Camp, with great success, and for their families to stay strong while they are away.

I got a letter today and so did his sis. He sounded really good. Said he had uninterrupted sleep on Sunday and was feeling back to healthy. I guess they usually iron all night! They get them up every 30 minutes to iron, and then they go back to sleep. I'm sorry for everyone who didn't get a letter this week!
I have never heard of the eyebrow thing, does it hurt? I've been yanking mine out since I was about 13.

I'm getting worried about all of the sickness and injury being reported. My son is NOT very germ resistant. He had strep and mono together last year and was sick enough that he moved back in with me for a few weeks. How are they supposed to pass all of these tests when they are sick or injured? I'm tempted to put some airborne in one of this letters! (Just kidding about that).

Got a letter from my Navy girl today. I am a happy Mom! She said that they had thier 2nd PFA last Wednesday and she is the fastest female runner in divisions 292 & 293. I am so proud of her. She thinks it is cool that I am on N4Ms.

I didn't get a letter, today. Maybe tomorrow, I hope. I miss my Navy girl. Well, I still have my youngest at home to keep me busy. I also had a job interview today. I would like to get this job, as I have been unemployed a long time. So hoping to get a call back for a 2nd interview with her boss.

DIVAMOM, buy something for me and Indybova, we didn't get letters either.! Bradlee's mom, thanks for all the info. Judy, so happy for you! Hang in there Cody's girl, a lot of the guys are dealing with getting reassigned from what they wanted and not knowing for sure what's going to happen. Let him know you support him, he'll be OK.
