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."

Hey moms - do you know if they get extra PT if pictures are sent? I'm thinking of bribing my son to write. If he doesn't write, I will send pictures until he does write. I hope that isn't too mean, but I was disappointed that he didn't write me but he wrote his ex-girlfriend.

I was so excited to open my mailbox and had two letters from my boyfriend! I started bawling in the car! This definitely made me miss him more than I already did! Glad our sailors are doing good!

If any of you talk or write your SR's, Im curious to know who his Bf's are there...Daryn is his first name and we are from Waverly, Il. Let me know if any of your SR's mention his name
ProudNavy mom..I understand. I miss mine the most on Sundays because of our family routine..church, lunch, hanging out and watching football. Praying all the letters come today!!
MommaG- my letter came today, but I am only about 3 hours from him.
Dannys mom- just read about your family- I am so sorry for your loss. Praying for Gods peace to surround you in a way only He can.

Oh, I hope I get a letter today. I am missing my boy something horrible. Just need to hear from him and know all is well. Can't wait for the mail lady to show up, got a few hours to wait on her though. This weekend was tough. Yesterday we shot skeet and targets, this is something we all do as a family. Couldn't stop feeling the empty spot in my heart, since this is one of Cole's favorite things to do. Our house is just so different now, hard to get used to.
Sharpmom., great to hear your Son is doing so well. It is reassuring to me and everyone else Im sure.
Danny's Mom- So sad to hear about the loss in your family. I will keep you family in my prayers.
