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."

Especially  for you Floridians!!  The cold goes right thru that thin skin!
hahaha your funny horse.

I was awake a lot last night. Kept dreaming she was calling. In one dream she was even here, but sleeping because of being up all night. So today I am tired and on pins and needles waiting for "the call".

And I have been watching the weather. A jacket is a must for this Palm Springs, CA desert dweller!

I know iwagot,    TICK TOCK TICK TOCK........
keeping my phone charged...murphys law ...the battery would die during our call, of the 2 calls i have gotten...one was lost and the other i didnt hear my phone ring, so by the time she called me back we only got about 10 mins ...Not gonna let any of that happen this time  =)

Last time my SR called it was the 1 time me and his mom left our phones in the livingroom. We were in the kitchen talking with some friends; he had called us both 3 times. Luckily we were able to talk to him that day. But, knowing that we missed so many calls nearly killed me. 

 

I keep getting texts from family members wanting to know the updates. It's very frustrating, I stayed up till about 6 this morning. Then I finally passed out, when my phone on "SUPER OMG LOUD" next to my head.....just incase :)

THEY ALL PASSED!!!!!!!!! CONGRATUATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!
Did you get a phone call?? We are going crazy over here...
YES and they all passed!   Some of them are eating pizza and will call soon. They are sharing the phones
Woot woot we have sailor
I am so excited, but it will confirm everything when I get to hear his voice.....

I am gonna kill him.

He posted he's a sailor on facebook BEFORE calling home.

I am gonna kill him....
