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."

Prayed again this morning for all our SR's. They are covered in prayer which is the most we can do. Thanks to all of you for your encouragement. Last letter I got was 9/16; hoping I have one waiting for me when I get home. Remember, ladies, no news is good news! I have to keep telling myself that! :)

Got a very long letter from my son today. He said battlestations are tonight (Monday, 9/27) at about 11:00 pm and will last 13 hours.
He gave me their schedule for last week: Week 5/Day 3 (Mon) - Drill / PI / DMI / Test 3 / Basic Damage Control Seminar; Week 5/Day4 (Tues) - FEP PI / FEP DMI inspection / Firefighting 1 Seminar; Week 5/Day 5 (Wed) - Gas Chamber / FEP Drill Inspection / Firefighting 2 Seminar; Week 6/Day 1 (Thurs) - PFA Final / Firefighting Team Training (he added a note at the end that he passed PFA final and they have a pennant on their drill flag - he's one of the "stix" and carries the drill flag); Week 6/Day 2 - Test 3 / Firefighting applications.
He said he was very excited and even metioned the RDCs are "pretty cool, actually". (Please keep in mind our kids have studied military style martial arts for the last 5 years so he may be a bit brain washed! lol)
He sent his little brother a letter for his 15th Birthday. He had a bunch of the other SRs in the division sign it and write a short note to him. His brother thought this was just awesome! You ladies have some great sons! I'm glad they're all in this together! Can't wait for FRIDAY! -
