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."

Thanks Ladies, I will call and see if they will send me another copy. Tammy, I agree with not taking it all in. I was so concerned about finding and looking at Ethan that I didn't hear much of anything. lol

Tamme just seeing you guys will make him feel better. Are you taking birthday cake or what is your tradition on birthdays? He's right about not to many pictures but I'm glad I got one. I'll see what I can do to get some emailed to you if you want

I just talked to Wade and he said he didn't order one. He said it was very expensive and didn't contain many pictures of their actual division. Darn. That was the trouble with boot camp. They couldn't call us and ask us what we wanted. Wade is all bummed. They didn't give them their liberty cards for phasing out and said not to come. I told him it was too late and we didn't care if we just had to hang out with him on base. We are there to see him and for him to be able to share his birthday with his twin brother. He is so down so I am really glad we are going now.

I called home and we didn't get ours today. I always did run a day later than all of you on mail for some reason. Thanks, Tammy. I'll report to you on Tuesday.

I received the DVD today and already watched it. I cried all over again. I am so proud of what these young men and women are doing. My DVD has some issues with the sound. Some parts of it are silent. Please let me know if yours is ok. I think I need to call the number on the back for technical support.

Hopefully since everyone else ordered the Keel book, Wade did as well. He won't be out of school and then duty until this evening so I can't ask him. Maybe I'll have a surprise in the mail when I get home.

Tamme, I'm glad you are getting to go for a visit. Ethan was going to try to come home for a weekend but since he has started school, he doesn't want to miss. It'll cost about $400 for him to fly home for a day and a half visit and for that short of time we told him to wait. BUT I am driving to Pensacola to be there on the 6th and spend the weekend there. Hopefully Addie's mom will let her go but I will go by myself if I have to. lol I miss him and I want to see his smile. He will be phase 3 by then also. If you ladies don't get the book let me know and I'll see if I can figure out how to email some pictures to you.

I have not gotten the DVD yet either. I sure hope Wade ordered the keel book. We will be out there this weekend so I'll ask him about it. I can't wait to hug him again. I hope it doesn't make the homesickness worse though. I'll hopefully be able to hug all of yours out in GL as well.
