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."

Hi Ladies!
I've been a little worried about my husband being the "old man" in the bunch but hopefully he is providing good, positive mental motivation for your sons and hopefully your sons are challenging and pushing him to physically stay at their pace!
I've been on cloud nine since I received his form letter...today I sent him letters from the kids and I... and I've started planning our trip to Great Lakes... reservations are almost done for everything!
Can you tell I'm excited?!? -

Abby - Yes! I can tell you're excited! lol! I'm so excited too! I can't wait to meet you in person! It's so nice to have a place to send the letters. I think that first week or so when you don't know where they are is the hardest.
How are the rest of you holding up?! -

Doing pretty good. I agree, it's a relief to actually know where they are. I was getting so frustrated not knowing if he even made it past processing.

Hi Bastrop TX! Welcome! I'm in Pleasant Hill, CA. I'm trying to look at the bright side of possibly missing the phone call - some other Mom's have said it's disappointing, but then they have the message they can listen to over & over whenever they want! I still don't want to miss it!! LOL

That's a good way to think of it......PIR will be here before we know it.....
