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."

I lost this group for some reason I kept looking for it and thought I was crazy even thinking it was on here. Must be the preggo brain. lol Glad to know im not going crazy.....yet!
txsailorsam- Thanks! I have been feeling alright. Definately sick of being pregnant and just wish little Parker would make his way into this world. But I guess he will when he's ready. They didnt think I would make it to this weekend but I made it all the way through lol I guess he likes to be stubborn like his daddy. I will definately let you gals know when he makes his arrival.
Its been a day today and sort of wish my husband could have called. I know they keep saying no news is good news, but sometimes I get myself excited that he may call and let down when he doesnt. The end of this pregnancy has definately been rough without him here. I realize people in my family care and are just trying to help but sometimes I think they are going a little overboard. A phone call here and there to see how I am doing is ok but my phone rings off the hook with the same question "Are you having any contractions?" UGH!!! It gets so annoying. I know if my husband was home it wouldnt be like that. I guess him calling wouldnt make the constant phone calls go away but it sure would be nice to talk to him :'(.....alright Im done with my pity party. lol Sometimes it just feels nice to vent. -

It's been quite a few years since pregnancy, but I remember it well. I am praying for his arrival and your comfort until he gets here. Have a great day.

Update for div 946- Looks like the guys did move to a different ship, but keep sending your letters to the same address. Mail should be forwarded to them. Cool thing is they will be the first div to graduate from this brand new ship!

My boyfriend mentioned they were moving back on the first, I believe. On his last letter he even started to write the new address but crossed it out and kept the same ship address. On our last phone convo he said the building was so new that no one knew the name of it yet.

My husband wrote it in his last letter. He said they moved in to the new (no name?) ship on 9/3.
