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."

For my side of the family, yes. That was all who could get off in time. But for my fiances side, his mom, dad, two sisters, and their kids might be coming. And we only have two rooms booked, so it will be a full house for us! lol Who will be coming to your SR PIR?
And ughh, been almost two weeks since our last phone call. I wonder if they still get some time off on Sunday even though its hell week for them. I haven't heard how their division is doing, so I'm really curious!! Hopefully today is the day!

Hang in there. If he just wrote a letter yesterday, it will take a few days. You may still get a letter this week. I'm hoping to get a letter or 2 this week as well.
