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 mailed our letters out too! It was a coloring page of a sailor, a fill in the blank letter and a note about the church kids and how to write a letter to them! I had exactly 7!
I'm hoping to do it again before they PIR! Hopefully I can get a few more and send some random ones to some of your SR's too! :)

Everyone please pray for our boys. I've heard that they have been getting sick. This is the worst week possible since they are going to be doing all their final assessments this week and BS next week. I know it is common for them to get sick but a few extras prayers can only help them! Thanks!
Good luck to all of our SR's!!
11 more days! Hoo-YAH!!

Prayers for them all every day.

8 more days! WOW!
I'm hoping everyone does well and passes their PFA today! I wish they could call home and tell us if they all passed! I sure could use a sigh of relief right about now! This Mama's nerves are shot! And we aren't even doing BS yet! :)
