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."

"the box"
The box has finally arrived today by fedex. I was prepared to have my head turned away while opening it due to many saying sometimes they smell bad. I was thankful my husband either donated or threw away his pants, boxers, and socks. so his box smelled like new shoes. :) Also in his box was his phone which was stuffed in his shoe along with his ipod, sweater, shirt, a huge packet of papers, and info from the airline.
I have to say, although my daughter was pulling out his things and asking "where is daddy. where is he?" and my heart was breaking for her, This made me realize we are one step closer to seeing him again at PIR.

Indeed you are. Hang in there, it's an incredible journey filled with many emotions. I was where you are not long ago, and I thought the days would never move. I just got back from my sons PIR last weekend and I can tell you it's worth the wait. It will be a day you won't soon forget. The form letter will be coming soon with his address. Get ready to write him evey chance you get....a true motivation for him. Keep us posted as you go and know all the "seasoned" N4M will be right here for you!

I'm sorry it has taken so long for me to reply. I didn't realize there was a comment. Thank you for the encouraging words!! We are half way through now and I'm even more excited to see my husband soon. Wouldn't miss it for the world. We made reservations and booked our flights a couple weeks ago. And so far, have written him every day and sent a few pictures. We have spoken three times since he left. He's doing great and says he enjoys my letters very much!
