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."

Cathy- I took the twins to see the last airbender, it wasn't that bad and if Sam is like Cameron he always watched new cartoon episodes on a Saturday so that is probably whyt he wants to see it. Plus they do stick to the cartoon version story line.
Like all of you I don't miss the arguments, with me or his brother, but I miss his voice "hi Moma" I missed his daily life update, and mine was still a hugger so I miss my hugs. I don't miss the mess, the clothes dumped on the bathroom floor and walked away from, the last snack cake, drink, slice of bread and the empty put back on the shelf so I didn't realize it was empty and I certainly don't miss the occassional back talk I got. But we are close and he is a good kid. and I just can't wait to see him or speak to him

Its weird what i feel everyone does too Thats good i guess. At 2am i was up missing him a lot. I dont have a son or daughter gone so wouldn't know how that feels if it is harder. I do know how a love one feels to be gone. After the first week was fine but now getting to the end i am missing him like the day he left. His basketball friend told me he received a letter but we are all going to get together to make a gift so i can take to him. i hope he will like it. I just keep telling myself you made it this far you can finish plus i know he is having it harder than me. I am still trying to find my husband ex bunk mate family on here hard when you can't put last name.
