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."

Puffy's mission was a complete success! And as you can see both his girl and Puffy are smiling from ear to ear.

Yes Stacy, thank you so much for think of me and my girl. Still packing, and thinking of A as she is now in BS for a few more hours. Must be exhausted by now. I know she can do this but I am still anxious for this to be over. I will talk to you all when I return.

This nice Petty Officer was able to tell Puffy that his Girl is doing a great service for her country. She was at Navy bootcamp learning to become a Sailor. If he wants to see her he will have to go to Great Lakes, Il. Puffy's flight is all arranged and he leaves tomorrow.

Puffy's adventure continues. Puffy was able to talk to a Rubber ducky sailor friend and was told where to find information on his girl. Could his mission soon be over?

Ok Ladies with all the excitement and concern of the past few weeks, I have neglected Puffy's growing concern for his girl. So, here are two in a row and you will understand why when you see them. Thanks for your support and your tolerance of my whimsy. JM

Talked to my son today. I had not spoken with him for almost two months! So excited to talk to him and the Chargers won, too!

Puffy's adventures continue - My girl's mom got a letter, seems my girl has been craving fast food, so I thought I would try and find her at one of the local places. Yum, love those french fries. Wish me luck.

Hey Stacy, got your message but haven't had a chance to reply. We are now down to about 18 days. She sent me a great calender that shows the events coming up like inspections, tests and such. Aven received a really newsy letter yesterday. Her only concern is the test on Thrusday. She said that there was a lot of information in a very short time.
I do have a question. She wasn't sure if she would have her rate on her uniform for her first pictures next monday. She is an E3 so she was hoping that she would get to wear them. Let me know if you know.
