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."

but its worth the price when the battle is won.
And remember he's thinking of you every day,
he's sad and he's lonely while so far away.
So love him and miss him and hold your head high,
Be strong and have faith, wipe that tear from your eye.
Your man's a seafarer, like that old ancient trader,
It's a high price you pay for loving a Sailor!

Howdy Chicas,
I am back. Man, school and Six month has kicked my bottom. I am still in Texas with the family. I took Bradley to her first rodeo last weekend, she really enjoyed herself until we had to move from our seats bc of the fear of bulls jumping into them. I am confused the other ombudsman has left? Hey I am still trying to get on the list so I can get information about the ship and my hubby. Tina please please email me at atiawellsolson@gmail.com at the lawn service, I am so worried about getting fined, I cant believe they are looking at backyards but they are. I will not be back in San Diego until September. Hey ladies lets try to plan a sign making party for our love ones bc last deployment my sign was pretty bad.

I just sent a package to my son on Monday. I'm hoping it gets there when they pull into port next week. I also got a phone call from him yesterday and it brought tears to my eyes. I hadn't talked to him in months and it's so nice to hear his voice. We got to talk for quite awhile. Then of course he had to go and call the girl friend...what's up with that?? hahaha
How is everyone holding up? Hang in there ladies, only 4 more months to go! It's actually going by faster then I had thought. Keep ourselves busy.

Thank you sista for that awesome message. I miss my kiddo sooooo much! Damn internet! The GF and I are sending a goody package this week, hope they will get it when they hit port in July. I'll tell him to go to an internet cafe where I can skype him, just so I can see his face.
