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 just read that your son called the GF and not you. I am soooo sorry about that. That must hurt so much, but remember, they are kids and don't always think. He may have thought he could call u too. We never know. Plus, maybe she put something in a letter that made him feel he had to call her. The one thing your son knows is that a mother's love is unconditional!! And you know he loves you. I think their minds are screwed up right now. Hang in there.

Sam's mom - thank you, I feel better today. I wrote him a letter (4th one) asking the details I was saving for the 1st phone call, and figured I may get a phone call or a return letter with the information I need in order to make myself feel comfortable enough to book my flights. Thanks for the support ladies, it really helps.

Ii I think only your recruit can order them. Ask him to in a letter to keep his eyes opet for them and to order them for you. I know there is a DVD also. I think you may want that too. Good luck

:-) Me too....... I got one for every room in the house.
I had a bad case of "missing her blues" today. Trying to stay strong, not too much longer to wait!

Hi, what exactly are the blue candles, and are they any blue candles?

I read that during "battlestations" the family is supposed to light them in support of their child. I also read that one of the moms would light a blue candle any time that she knew her child was having a test.
