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."

just hanging in...lol
I just mailed off.. the 4th and 5th care package alex says its only taking 10 days right now..not sure how long that will last. One has some goodies for another shipmate that wanted a little so was more than glad to send it for my son to get it to him..My son said he didn't want a full care package so sent a gallon baggie full of candy thats why the box bulged out...lol.. and filled the rest with more candy and coffee and stuff that i know my son probably does not need and a note that said give it to his shipmate whatever he didn't need.....I decided to do a Halloween box for him and some of his shipmates..Filling plastic gloves with candy to make it look like a hand..they are cute and sending a mask he can wear to hand them out. It fills my time trying to do something to help with their long journey..so far I have made 25 and have to go get more candy and ribbon ...So not sure how many i will get made...
At the post office today one of the flat rate boxes I had overfilled and it bulged out a little and they warned me it was within there standards but to watch over filling them or they would not let me mail it..lol
His girlfriend Amylia has decided to come home to Texas while hes gone and that makes me very happy..was worried about her being there without family close..And if she has been there with him for a couple of years it still her first time away from her family..and its easy when the person you love is with you..but way different when your alone..Friends do count but not the same as family.And I know it eases alex's worries too.. I know her mom and dad was worried too..shes there only girl and the baby too...and our young men and women will never understand why we worry when they are all grown up..But they will when they have their own children.
That we still see our baby..We remember all the first they have done all rolled up into one scene..the first butterfly inside us while they are growing their first
touch,cry,smile,kiss,fever,holding our hands.their first tooth,step,hiccup,yes we remember all because we are mothers.
and now we want so bad to have them back as babies so we can keep them safe...But we know that we can be very proud mothers to have children that will sacrifice all for us and their country..
May God Bless all of our service men and women and may he hold them tight to protect them all..and may he send us all comfort as we await their return..another first I look forward too..
