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 got a letter today! He loves his ship/division, and is very happy wit the RDC's. That is so great to hear! I did notice something though: On his return address is now Ship 10, USS Enterprise, DIV 265. Uh...why? Do they give each of the "ships/barracks" a name? I have sent out four other letters/cards without referencing the Enterprise. Hope they make it to him!

Yeah! I got a long letter today!! He's doing good. He said their division is coming together really well! I'm so glad to hear him upbeat and happy. He misses us all but appreciates all the letters he's receiving! Hope you all get one today too.

My letter that came today says USS Enterprise also. My husband thinks they are his barracks. We watched a video that said the barracks are all names of ships. I didn't put that on any of my letters either. We should be ok because our form letter didn't mention we had to have that ship on there.

We got letter #2 today - awesome! He says he is doing well and staying strong. He was recognized as being an Eagle Scout! He mentioned that they may be making calls beginning the 18th - so keep those phones handy. Can't wait to hear his voice!

Got it! Haven't been down south. My daddy's people are/were all over TN and MS. Funny, we'd all get together up here in WA or when my daddy was in CA...didn't take long for that Southern accent to transfer over. I think I was born to be in the south...just got transplanted to the Northwest! LOL

We are staying at the Residence Inn as well. Bringing out 16 yr. old daughter. Unfortunately my SR's grandma is on the list, but she does not fly. Only way for her to get there is to have my brohter drive with her from Seattle. That would but our list at 5 :( so not sure grandma will get to see grandson follow in her husbands footsteps as he so desperately wants. Wish she could just arrive and get in! What do larger families do?
