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."

My "reassuring" husband reminded me that he maybe my baby, but he's still a guy! And that no news is good news.....

My daughter told me the division is split 50/50. She also said 5 or 6 had already been sent home, but she didn't say if they were male or female. They do most of their training in the "male" compartment, but it's right across the hall from hers. She said the weather was really bad. They had 2 tornado warnings the first week that scared her. Now it's just hot and muggy. Hang in there jma1216! Everyone knows females are more "verbal" than males! lol You will get a letter soon I'm sure. If not, at least you have news from those close to him on here.

I got a letter yesterday so depending on where you are you may get it today or tomorrow. My daughter said they can receive letters everyday but can only write on Sundays.

Has anyone received a letter yet? I feel like I'm stalking the mailman but I'm so darn anxious to hear from him.
