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 was too. I even called my postmaster to make sure. She said she would call me at work when I did get a letter because I will have to leave work early to get there before it closes. The suspense is crazy! But I bet they are so busy they don't even realize time is dragging for us moms!

Yeah I know what you mean. I was praying for a letter today, and that time seems to drag. From what I have read from other girlfriends on other groups. Most sailors in this PIR wrote on letters on Easter. So the SRs got some sort of break on sunday.

I'm glad they had some downtime on Easter. I just can't wait to find out all the things they are doing! I want to find out what day they are on so I can kind of follow along. I'll be sure to post it when I do get one. I hope you get letters and better yet a phone call soon.

Yeah i know it's hard not knowing whats going on. Me too, we'll keep each other in the loop. Next week start week three and we are either supposed to get the "I'm still alive call" then or week four. I'm excited.
