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."

I really, truly feel the circle of support and friendship. Thanks so much to all of you. I prayed all night for 313 and watched the clock change to 8:30. I can't wait to hear from all of you.

I've been awake since 2 am. My mind has been racing about all that is and has been going on. I've prayed for Ethan and for the other young men doing battlestations and for Jordan and Wade as they will today.

I'm in the circle and praying for these fellows. All will be well. My trust is in God's plan for these young men. I pray for their strength and wisdom and that God will trully bless each and everyone of them and their families. I pray for healing for Wade and for Jordan to be faster. Thank you Lord for all you do!

Hi gals Loree and Tamme..Hang in there moms.... were here for you!! We will be praying for your sons...I know mine said in his letter last week he was 6 seconds short on his running but we haven't gotten a call saying he didn't make it so I am assumiing that he did and will be doing battle staions tonight.
As far as Battle stations...they will start tonight around 8 pm and until around 8 am...they will get there new Navy caps afterwards and then go to a late breakfast. Then they will do a few things to stay a wake...in the afternoon early eve you will get the call "I'ma a sailor"!! they will hit their racks early at 8pm.

That's what my husband said, Carolyn. He said he was worried about BS but he felt like we were finally at the end. I am having to keep him calm. LOL
