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."

Thanks for sharing your letters. We haven't gotten a letter yet this week. So, I figure he's studying, etc. in his free time. Soon we'll be done writing to the current address. I'm so glad this piece of the journey is almost over. God Bless all the SR's! Have a wonderful weekend everyone!

Don't feel bad Maureen, I haven't gotten a letter this week either! If the mail lady is holding it thinking this is funny I might just hurt her! lol I am sure she isn't!! I am just guessing either he didn't write or it is mixed up in the mail. Football game tonight again! Will be back later!

Yesterday I celebrated my first birthday without my SR. It was a little rough to say the least. But in a few days, I will have the best birthday present ever, seeing my son become a US Navy Sailor. All of his friends posted their birthday wishes on my facebook page - a lot of them starting with HB to our second mom. Made me smile.
