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."

Emails have been few and far between, no fb and no calls. Unusual for my sailor. Does anyone know if they are in the next port yet?

I too got a very short email from my daughter, very cryptic which is understandable. It was just nice to hear from her even though it was a very short note.

Christine,
I've heard from my husband the last two days. But before that he said they didn't have email for a few days. They were pretty short and quick emails though so I'm sure they are really busy.

Thanks Suzanne! I'm sure it's just because it's getting closer to Christmas and I haven't heard from her for a few days now. She sent a list of "stuff" she needs and wanted so Monday I shipped 3 boxes off to her. The one rate Priority boxes from the post office is the way to go! They were plenty heavy and it didn't cost any more. Is this the first time for your daughter? It is for mine and I'm just trying to stay busy with work - not trying to think about it! I'll "friend" you and you can tell me all about your daughter :-)
