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."

Have you heard from your daughter or son? My daughter is in Div 300 and she sounds good, but tired. Interesting in hearing how your daughter or son is doing.

Thanks. Good to hear from females I'm doing an ok job. Besides casual chatting with some, I only have 2 that I would really call friends, one of them being my girl. All my other friends are male.
I'm picky and when it came to choosing from the selections of ones that could be delivered by tomorrow, those were the only ones I liked. Well, actually not the ones but the only ones in that lower price range. Yeah the ones that were 70-100+ looked nice too, but I aint ballin like that. lol Have my money going to visit. Others didn't look as good or were of colors I wasn't feeling like orange, yellow and purple. Plus I know she loves pink.

I had to give her something for the actual day, since I cant be there to give her the necklace in person till later. She seemed sad on the phone and on facebook about having a birthday there away from me and was like what am I gonna do besides turn 19. I figure besides being there getting that would be a tolerable substitute. Hopefully you ladies would agree if you were split away from your other half on a bday or holiday.

Ordered these. Was given confidence there would be no issue in delivering them to her for her birthday tomorrow. I just hope they can get through the gate or hand them off to someone who then can give them to her instead of having her come to the gate and get them. Of course the dream would be to have them given to her in the public lounge or Im sure even less likely have them sent to her during class so everyone can see, but as long as she gets them I'm ok.
