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 Maggie, So glad you got a call. I didn't get one from my son, but he would probably have called his fiancee. She hasnt called me, so I am guessing she didnt either. Hoping might hear from him soon. I did see on another post, that their liberty will end on Sunday, so we wont be able to see them till when they arrive at the airport to go to their A school. My son will be heading to Groton, Conn sub school.

Yes, they are extremely slow. I sometimes feel like it's never going to get here. It's kinda like Christmas when I was a kid. I couldn't wait for Christmas because it was so much fun and it was my grandmother's birthday so it was really a special day for our family.

I would love to. I don't really, I just glance a few times a day. Trying to learn as much as possible and trying to ease some of the anxiety I get. I got a letter yesterday and he talked about your son and what a great guy he is, etc. I am so happy they are close. Let's plan something soon. I've got to get to work on our flag this week-end. Any ideas??? I have bought the fabric and found a NAVY insignia at a memorabilia place. I've still got to get some letters or have it embroidered, I haven't decided which...and I need to get some fabric pens for people to write their "boy or girl's" name on.
