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."

My Rock, My Sanity...My Husband
I am always talking about My SR, let me share a little of my husband.
Still waiting on my letter, hopefully it will be here today...
If not, I refuse to bake the mailman anymore cookies...LOL! I have sent letters out all week. I miss my only son so much.
I wanted to share some of the silliest things my husband says to lighten my heart and reassure me that our son is ok.
and his mother is mess.
My husband said if I keep mailing him letters all he is gonna be able to do is read them instead of writing to us. He thinks he is so smart....LOL! So today I just mailed him a sticky note with a game of Tic Tac Toe. LOL! Believe me when I tell you he seen me put it in the mail and just laughs at me and tells me we raised a strong and independent Son and he gets his traits from his Dad, because his mother is a mushy mess.. He said he is waiting for the mailman to slap a stalking charge on me...He thinks he is so funny...I see him running to the phone making sure we do not miss a call.
Thank God for my husband, if he did not make me laugh and give me that smile that tells me "everything is OK" CALM DOWN!!!! I would be heavy hearted all day long. I want to share the last thing he said to me before I left for work this morning, I wanted to share a laugh with all the heavy hearts today. He said "Honey, go to work and know God is watching over all our sons and daughters. He will guide them along with the United States Navy. Know in your heart he is thinking of you today and if he calls my phone while your at work I will let him know you threw all his stuff out of the house and said it was about time he got a real job..... ; ) MY Rock, My Love, Yes by Gods Good Graces MY HUSBAND>>>>>>That is because I am the only one who can put up with him. God Bless Our SR's and their Families.
