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."

Today is letter day for us too. Looking forward to hearing from our daughter. In her last letter sounded like she was having a tough week, so hopefully things will have picked up for her. It'll be a great day today!
PS - I told so many people at my company about Wacky Wednesday that they're doing a featured article about it in the Human Interest section of our company's web site. !!

Woo Hoo,
I was hoping for one letter and got 4, 2 that were dated Sunday 25th, one was for his Dad as that was his birthday. He told me about the busy week he has, but nothing about a date for Battlestations.
He mentioned about another phone call this week, but no idea what day. Has anyone heard the same,or does anyone else have more details?
Only 15 more days to go..... :-)

Sorry Ladies,
You will probably get a whole bunch like I did, I usually only get one or two on a wednesday, some were written last week and then 2 on sunday and they all arrived together.. weird.
Good luck for tomorrow, I hope you all receive lots of letters :-)

I got a letter, but not a very good one, My SR is really having a rough time, she is really sick. I just pray that she has the strength to get through the next 15 days. A phone would be nice. Sounds like the div is doing good. I can't wait to see her. This was the roughest letters I got, I cried most of the day yesterday for her. Come days hurry up and fly by.

So sorry for your worries. When they hurt, we hurt. Hope she's on the mend and you hear good news soon!
