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."

We got our first phone call last night.  Teary but great to finally hear from her.  We thought that PT would be tough, that's okay what is tough is the clothes folding and keeping her rack tidy.  I knew I should have stopped putting her clothes away for her when she turned 18!!!  I hope all Mums (I'm British that's how we spell Mom in the UK) are holding up.  I'm sharing your stress.  Look for me among the many happy Mums in Great Lakes on April 16th:)

I bought a new outfit too! If you find a good wrinkle cream let me know. I only have a week left so I hope it works fast. LOL
Meet and Greet is Thursday evening or Friday??
Thursday evening
Got a letter today. Daniel and div are doing well. He passed all his tests and received "Sharpe shooter" in firearms. Said he can't wait for graduation and to see us. Glad our sons and daughters are doing well and our prayers are that everything continues to go well and we'll see you on April 16. God Bless and have a wonderful day.
Got a letter today and Daniel sounds wonderful. He is so excited about graduating. He got "Sharpe shooter" in firearms and said that things are going well with the division. He also said he is looking forward to seeing us and eating a steak. Our prayers continue for Ship 13 Div 160 and all recruits and families. God Bless and have a wonderful day.
I am praying for everyone too! My fiance' is heavy on my mind right now...
Our daughter just called for a moment and said she is a sailor and that Ship 13 div 160 passed. she sounded tired and had been since yesterday. She could only talk for a minute and I heard some one yell get off the phone. Looking forward to seeing her Friday.
My son called for a moment and he said he is a sailor and Ship 13 Div 160 passed. Way the go SAILORS!!!!! God Bless All of YOUUUUUUU!!!!!! Looking forward to seeing all you wonderful parents!!! Thanks for the support!!!
Holding onto my cel phone with a death grip....I jump every time it rings - I'm on my last nerve and it is only 10:00 in them morning!!! AARRGGHH
The calls are going to come soon. Our daughter said she would try call again tomorrow (Wed 4/14).
But it doesn't really matter if we do not get any more calls because graduation is Friday and we get to see our amazing children.
Our thanks (Wayne and Roz) to all of you for your support and words of encouragement that made these last 8 weeks easier to tolerate. It helped just knowing you were all out there.
May God Bless you all and your sailors and may they go on to bigger and better things.
If I do not get to see you all on Friday. THANK YOU MY FRIENDS
