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."

Megan, OMG that is wonderful news! I would be AMAZING too! hehe ;) Congrats girl! He's really missing you! 5 months to plan isn't too bad. Where is he going to A-school and for what?

I'm doing alright. I've had better days and wish I had more letters but I'm hanging in there. Almost 10 days!

Hey, haven't talked with you in awhile. Just wanted to check and see how you were holding up. Hope things are well, or as best as they can be. We are almost there! So very excited!

Thats so good that you were able to get a call during a hard time. :) Isn't that nice how that works out. I did get a call as well but unfortunately I missed the first 2 or 3 times he called :( I was so upset, was crying like crazy and then he called back. :) we didn't get to talk for very long but we did get to talk. I received another letter today but I can't believe how slow the mail is. I look forward to checking the mail!!! Have you guys gotten all your stuff booked for the 4th? We only have 27 day!!!! YAY!!

Andy was telling me that they were getting in alot of trouble with not doing things the way they are supposed to, which meant they have to do "IT" so maybe he didn't get the chance yet. THis is really bad but he's also writing me at night when he's not supposed to. If you don't get anything this week, I'm sure you will next week. :( I'm sorry I know that you are looking forward to some communication. Hang in there! Oddly enough, I have dream but hardly ever of andy and I did last night. I almost didn't want to wake up. I think it a way of trying to cope with the fact that they arent' around. It's kind of been a rought couple of days. Thank goodness I have my lil brother and sister to help me. I'd of lost it by now if I didn't. Keep your chin up. If I hear anything else, I'll let you know. B

BTW do you know of anybody else who's on the same ship and DIV?

Hey Megan,

Any news yet from Ethan? Andy said he had 5 letters he sent to me on Monday and still haven't gotten anything yet. I was just telling my sister I hope that he put enough postage on them. :)

actually, :/ the kids didn't talk to him. I was being selfish. It was only 8 min so it was nice to talk to him but it was really short. :'( Not that I'm not grateful. I can't help but feel really down, I miss him so much! I haven't cried to much but today thats all I feel like doing.

I hope you get your phone call and letters this week!

I received my phone call today from my husband! I guess he helped out one of his petty officers so he was able to get a phone call! It was so hard not to cry and stay upbeat :'(. He sounded good though! He knows your fiance, I told him to tell him hi from you all! He said he would :) Aww I was so happy to get the phone call it made me so happy but sad at the same time. Ugh! I'm happy he's ok though!

My husband is going in for Sonar Technician. After boot camp he leaves for San Diego to do school for 2 months. We are curious to see where we will be stationed!
