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 won't be on tonight ladies. We are headed to my little nieces 3rd birthday party. When she was born 3 years ago today she was 15 weeks early and weighed 1 lb 7 ozs. She had heart and eye surgery those first couple of months. Now she is a happy, perfectly healthy 3 years old. She is our little miracle baby :) Susan

I got my boy in a box! He was waiting on the front porch when I got home and is sitting in the dining room waiting for a time when A's GF and brother can come over. A texted Ash on the ride to GL that there will be something in the pocket for her; I'm glad he did that. I would have felt horrible had I washed them. I don't think I will wash them right away. Just leave them as they are in the box. I'm off to write a letter :-)

Awesome, Lori! I'm so happy for you. That's so nice that he put something in the pocket. The only thing is my A's pocket was lint. lol
I left my A in the box and I'm not washing anything until I have the live one here with me again.

That's what I am thinking too Betsy; I expect my Ash will want to take an article of A's clothing with her :-) Things are moving along aren't they! I have 2 letter's written and addressed to send tomorrow. I feel good about getting something mailed to him. Lori

Thanks Kathy,
I'm going to use the one that the recruiter gave me and also send a couple of letters to the other one and see what happens.
I just have these awful thoughts that I use one address, it will be the other one. I don't want him to be the only one without any letters to open. I would feel so awful.

Betsy - can the recruiter do some checking for you? When I look on the site I would think it would be Ohio. Good idea to try both and then ask Adam what it is in your letter or maybe he will put the return address on there. Lori

Lori,
I actually did ask him in my letter. I'm going to write some to the Ohio address. too.
