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."

Waiting for the call home

When he called from the airport the first time he left he said I can call again in about three weeks. Its been 12days and I am still counting the days till I can hear from him again.....Sent so many letters and cards already and still I need to hear from him or at least get a little letter. The waiting is nerve wracking for sure.

When he calls, I can assure you that you BOTH will feel a lot better! My son is in his FINAL week. It was a long road for me as I missed him every hour of every day! I will be seeing him on Firday..........I can't wait! My phone is an accessory to all my wardrobes....and yes, even to the bathroom. I should be hearing from my son tomorrow after Battlestations for the "I'm a Sailor" call. All the best to your son.

Son is not much of a writer but even two sentences will be treasure to me.....Peggy64...your time is nearing and I wish you the best reunion ever...I think its hard with a son but a daughter must be devastating....praying for all....
