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."

Phoebe, lol, It was the same last night. I couldn't believe how impatient I was to hear his voice. I was the last one to get the call last night and I thought I would go crazy. Fortunately there were some wonderful moms here that kept me laughing all evening. I hope you hear soon. Hugs. Kathy

I'm sure he is fine I just want to know if he is still here or has landed in Chicago. I'm sure he isn't worried. Just let dear old Mom sit and wait. Dad will sleep just fine.

Phoebe, have you heard anything yet. I know mine was late and with the weather your son might be late too. It is weird how tired I have been all day. I had to force myself to go to work and then I just finished the work I bring home. It is a wonderful feeling when you finally get his call. Hugs, Kathy

Hello, Still waiting. Sean doesn't think about how worried I am or that I'm waiting by the phone. If he knows he's fine he doesn't even think about me. Thank you Kathy, I'll post when I hear from him.

Phoebe, ask Betsy, I was a disaster last night waiting for Brandon to call. Finally at 10:38 he called. It will happen. I was eating popcorn and you should have seen where it went when the phone rang. It was so surreal. Hugs, kathy

HaHaHa, Betsy, I hate to say it but your are RIGHT. Between the Boot Camp Place and the UMMM's I managed to hang on though. Smile. Kathy
