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."

MISSED IT!!!
yesterday, as i had to leave early for work, i should home late last night to find the fed ex missed label strapped to my door. I am hoping that it will get here before I leave today. If not, I have signed to have it left for me . I am also hoping that soon the "form letter" will get here so that I can send all of the letters I have wrote thus far. It has been stressful just with the thoughts of not knowing and not being able to contact him but I am still overwhelmed with pride, and knowig that he is out there following what he wants to do. Just holding faith that soon I will hear from him and learn about all of the exciting things he is learning and accomplishing.
Hope everyone else is doing well!!! I have met some wonderful people thru this website and they have been more than I have ever thought with support and advise
Keep faith and keep your head up:)

I'm sorry you missed the delivery of "the box" yesterday, but you will get it today. Since your SR arrived in the wee hours of Friday, tomorrow is P-5 and the form letter will be mailed then, so it should arrive later this week or early next week. In the meantime, keep writing and checking out the information on here such as that in the Pages (found under the pictures of the Members) in Boot Camp Moms (and loved ones).

you are the best for the information. It is great to have you here. I was wondering what part of the days he was in. It is hard to tell what "day " he is in. That is a tremendous help. I am glad at least I have an idea now of where he is ....
