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 know! Isn't it exciting? I mean 2 weeks today! Won't it be wonderful to finally hear from them?.....I mean a REAL letter! LOL BTW, you are so very welcome! There was already a thread started for 11/128, but it was started before we had an actual PIR date. I am so very grateful for this site and for all of you. I know I've said it before, but my fears, anguish, and sadness have diminished so much after reading posts from so many who have gone before. It's so nice to have a place where you can babble and be a mommy, with others who are in the same situations, to be with others who have the same questions.....and to actually get answers to those questions. Bless you all!

I booked my flight tonight on Frontier from Denver for $269 with insurance so I can change the dates for a lower price if need be. Still not sure where we are staying!

Yay!!!!!!! That is great news Denver. Are you renting a car also,or using shuttle service?
-

I'm not sure yet and I haven't booked a hotel. denvermom is my boyfriend's mom so we are trying to figure out where to stay and if his parents are flying or driving. I will most likely not rent a car, but use super shuttle to get to and from the airport (seems to be the cheapest option!). If his parents fly then we will all split a rental car and if they drive then we will have their car! I cannot WAIT to go, now that I have my flight all booked and the time off from work I'm getting antsy even though its still 6 weeks away...it's a great feeling!
How have you been holding up? Any letters or anything yet???? (Not me...but soon I hope!)

Good morning DenverGF! No, I haven't heard anything yet. Perhaps there will be a letter in the mail today. I have some grocery shopping in town to do and hope to get done and home by the time the mailman comes. I've just been trying to keep busy around here in order to make the time go a bit faster. LOL Have a great day all y'all....into the shower I go....to brave the rising cost of groceries and to fuel up the vehicles before the gas prices go through the roof. LOL
