OPSEC - Navy Operations Security

I remember that call, almost 2 years ago now...its the best isnt it? You will find somethings to be the best part of her being in the Navy, lots of stories, lots of new friends, some since bootcamp, my sailor has one that has been a true friend since BC. Not that it helps any but I havent heard my sailors voice since March...she is deployed. The best part I will actually get to hug her in the immediate future as her deployment is winding down. Its a long roller coaster ride, this Navy stuff, dont know if you ever get used to it, I guess as moms we just accept what they are doing, support them 100 percent, pray for their safety and well being, and wait for phone calls and emails...best of luck to you and your sailor.
