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."

Thought I'd check in one last time before work. Lucy, I think my son is under the assumption that he can only write one letter a week. He told me he wrote his brother because he could call me. Umm...you can do both LOL. Anyway he hates, hates to write so my thinking is it may have taken him forever to get one letter done. I myself would much rather type than write so I know where he's coming from.
Got to go will keep my fingers crossed that the mailman make some people happy today.

Aww...sillygoose I know you'll make the right decision. My future daughter-in-law is part of our group and I know she is about to go through a major semester in school and is missing my son lots. I think she did post something on here....somewhere....her screen name is Haley&Jayson. Maybe y'all can "friend" each other and probably connect in ALOT of ways! Best of luck to you in making the right decision. Will say a special prayer for you today. And CT. I DO hope to get a letter but if they had only very little time to write, Haley probably will get one first. lol. And that's ok as long as she shares, which I am sure she will! Hugs to all!

Keep an eye out for the mailman today. Hoping you all get letters. I won't be receiving one :( as my son said he wrote his brother. So, may I ask that if any of you have any "news" about bc life would you mind posting? Maybe if we all piece our news together we'll sorta feel like we're with them.

Awww..I feel missed : ) It's been one of those days/nights Lucy...missing my SR SOOO much. And I have a major decision to make about accepting an offer from a PhD program, within the next 2 days! He's my best friend so not being able to discuss this with him is TOUGH! But I have my faith and family so I'll get clarity soon. ~I absolutely love the idea of having our SRs connect. He's ofcourse Mr. SillyGoose to me but in real life his last name is Holmes. I'll def ask him about your SRs in my next letter. Also, hoping tomorrow is THE day... itching for a letter!
