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."

Hi ladies: I got a real letter from Aaron today! I'm so happy. I hope you all did too. He says it's hard but good. He alluded to the problems with earning phone time, but says don't worry, they'll work it out. Good attitude! He says foods horrible and he can't wait for me to fix him something good! Yay me! And he mentioned wanting my Sangria which I'm pretty famous for. We have "Sangria Sundays" here at the ole homestead. He says he got 6 shots and 2 hurt. He just sounded so good. Ended by saying he was going to go "organize his rack and shine his shoes"...WHAAAAAT! Who is this child??? Praise God for the good news and the letter. Looking forward to hearing about yall's.

My son said in his letter that they had 20 minutes for all 75 of them to shower. He said he could not wait to take a shower by himself! He also said not to worry that everything was going good. Can't wait to get another letter.
