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."

No calls here either. In Shaun's last letter, he said they had some SR's that had problems keeping their mouths shut, so I am betting that there won't be any calls until they get it together.

I hate that everyone gets punished because of a few, but I know that is to teach them to work together. Hopefully, they will get it together sooner than later.

Good afternoon, has anyone made travel plans yet? We booked a hotel but I think we are going to wait another week to book the flight, not sure because I'd like to hear how our Daughter is doing first! I hate to wait too long

We have booked a room at the Gateway Inns. Think we are going to take Amtrak. My daughter-in-law plans on booking her flight in about 2 weeks.
Also, please look at the picture RTC posted a little bit ago. It is our SR's ship marching and I saw my son in the picture.

Thank you all for the Happy Ann. wishes. That is very kind of you all.
I miss my J. and can not wait to get a letter or better yet a call for him. I did send him 2 ann. cards last week that should have made it to him on time. I am one of those people that write and mail every day.
Hope we get calls this week. Take care and keep praying for our SR's.
@ Shaun's mom - sorry the pic. was not of your Shaun. :o(
