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."

Willsmom- I hope so! I really want a girl, we've had a name picked out for years. We can't agree on a boy name yet so a girl first would be easier! I find out PIR day! Praying baby will cooperate and show us the goods!
Lisa- did you type the password in all caps?

Hi everyone! I just got home from work and today was really busy.. I have two co-workers who gave me food. Both of them wanted to cheer me up.. And yes, they did. Steven made me pork chop with red beans and brown rice (just because), Susana made me chicken enchiladas ( i gave her a ride home last week) It was really nice of them both.
Wilsmom: no news yet.. But I'm lifting everything up in prayers.. Glad our God is our refuge and strength.
Tickled: so happy that you are having a healthy pregnancy.. All of us here (honorary aunties) are very happy for you..
Zachary's Mother: any news from our division? do you know when our division's Final PFA and BS21?
*I think it's great if we received a phone call from SRs to ask when/ if all passed the PFA and BS21. Just in case some of us didn't get a call right away.. Please..please..please...

Tickled...don't be surprised if your baby is a girl! (faster heart rate tyypically are girls)
NYRican-Keeping Jay in prayer, as well as all of the rest of our guys. God give you comfort-can't imagine how difficult this has been for you, not hearing from him for so long. I'm thankful for the letter you got and pray all is well.
All yesterday I was in prayer and will be today. Ever get those feelings that your son just needs you? That's how I was yesterday.
Zacharys's Mom - A CALL!!! I ran and got my phone when I read that!!! :)

A special thanks and shout out to navymommo for lending me her ear for almost an hour. I really needed that chat. I haven't heard from my son since June 8th, and after getting his letter today and reading his explanation as a mother as was about to explode. Just keep those prayers coming people. 224 is an outstanding bunch of SR's that have endured alot and we should be extremely proud of them, I know I am.
