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."

He told me not to get his hopes up, but told me about the next deployment and dry dock and how they are encouraged to take leave during dry dock. He also has to go to a 3rd C school back in San Diego again.

I remember Kathleen, you did not get to see Jonis last year. You were due.

Did that picture of Patrick got posted cuz I posted those of Danielle, ? Did you notice the difference in size between the two guys in the picture. Patrick is going to pre-season work-outs for the Yokosuka seahawks, think he misses football! His birthday is Jan 2, same as my moms, but I have to wish him HB on the 1st since they are 14 hrs ahead eh?
Linn, I really enjoy all those stories, thanks for sharing them. I've been really busy. Jorge just got 35 staples out of his knee - custom fit replacement. He has a HIGH tolerance for pain, but when it comes to waiting on them hand and foot- UGH! Give me a break.

I know what you mean Mollly I keep reading and seeing how others have there Sailors home or coming home and I get sad too, Holidays are the Hardest especially Christmas. At least we have each other :)) to complain too!!!
I think that would be a great song!!!!

Ahhhh That's soo sweet!!!

I believe it is because that's the # that Katie always calls from when on the Ship. I don't think it costs her.

Molly & Rozy I should have told you answer all calls that say that because it's your Sailor calling. Whenever Katie calls it always says AT&T HITS and is an 808 # Soooo Happy You both heard from them !!! Yeahhhhhh !! Glad they like it and are settling in OK.
