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."

Gosh...I am hoping too. Sorry about no letter. I kind of wish my son hadn't written about the test anc calls, etc. Now everytime the phone rings we all run like crazy people and then are so disappointed when we don't see the 847 :(
Here are some on line hugs ooooooooo :)

No letters for me either this week. Hoping for a phone call.

I think they may be really busy. We normally get several in one envelope or several envelopes and we got two this week. Hang in there :) Hugs to you too!

My son wrote in his letter yesterday that they would have already taken their test this week by the time I got my letter. The RDC 's tell them that if the division gets a 4.25 or higher they earn a call home. He was hoping they would do well and get to call again. That is all I know but will definately be carrying the house and cells phones with me just in case. :)

tmasters - we'll be waiting for you at the Navy Lodge when you arrive. Docsangel - we can go to the meet and greet together if you want. No letter for me today. I left work early and drove like a maniac home hoping for a letter since I missed the call Saturday. Maybe tomorrow. Feeling blue today, miss my baby boy but I've got to stay strong. Less than 2 weeks. Talked to my grandsons tonight and that always lifts my spirits. Robsproudmom - thank you so much for doing the bracelets. You don't know how much you ladies mean to me. It's been a long week at work, tomorrow is Friday and I hope our guys get to make a call this weekend. Hugs to all of you.

A big dinner sounds nice. Did the boys mention when? I'll have to ask my sailor about the dinner he hasn't mentioned it. He said I would meet all the guys he has written about but nothing about a dinner..hmm I'll have to ask. Glad to hear that more of you got letters today! :)

I got a letter from my son today he said all is good and that I shouldn't worry about him. He also said they are looking forward to PIR in 2wks . I also got a letter from my daughters elementary school and she will be receiving a special award at her moving up ceremony. Life is real good right now....
