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 opened a letter from my SR today.  He said that they are supposed to get a phone call on the 4th (today) unless they get in trouble again!  (fingures crossed!)  Not sure what he means by "trouble" - his letters are short and do not have much info in them.  LOL.  

YAYYYYYY!!!! I sure hope sooooooo!!!
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!!!!!

Oh I would love a call. This is killing me!

 

just got home and received my weekly letter.  she said they might get a phone call but didnt tell me when.

 

she got her ribbon for live fire!  and she thinks they're going to do the gas chamber this week.  she hopes so because she wants to get it over with, lol.

 

she also told me they were doing the pictures monday (8/1) but she doesn't have her dress blue jacket yet so she's stressed about that.

 

since they already have an apartment to move into i asked her if she wanted me to cook her a homecooked meal but she said she's craving everything on olive garden's menu, lol.  guess after PIR we're doing olive garden.

 

Bummed we didn't get a phone call. :(  I got a letter from my SR and he is stressed. Only 2 more weeks!!!!
Aww... Nichole I will pray for him! I know im totally bummed about no phone calls :-( I miss my SR's voice. But thank goodness only 2 more weeks!!!!

Thanks for your support!

see you soon

What the heck are our SR's up to??  LOL!!!  Hard to believe we have not spoken to them in 6 long weeks (for those of us who did not get the first phone call) :(  Well I am sure it feels much longer for them.  At least we have each other to vent to and a trip to plan!  Chicago here we come!!
I got PHONE CALL AND LETTER TODAY :)))) It was absolutely Awesome to her her voice:)))))!!!!

got a phone call today, thank god her hubby was working and couldn't talk long, lol. 

she sounds so good, so positive!  got a ribbon for live fire, said firefighting starts on monday and she thinks the gas chamber is tuesday.

also said she saw the proofs of their pictures and she DOESN'T like her picture, lol.  said her hat is too big and makes her ears stick out like an elf, lol.

2 weeks, sooooo excited!

we didn't have cell service at the time of the call. It rang but we couldn't answer. I am so jealous of all of you. I can't believe we missed it. I sure he was very disappointed too.  CRAP :(
