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."

hi
Hi grandma, you sent something I think yesterday and I guess I must have deleted it cause I can't find it. (sorry) I got my second letter from my son yesterday and it was sooooo much better this week for him. I wish I could be with him today because he was having wisdom teeth removed but he told me the guys are like his brothers so I'm sure his brothers helped him today.

Hi all!  I too got my second letter yesterday.  It was dated the 21st.  My son got his wisdom teeth removed last week and was given 3 days bed rest.  Hope he feels better.  He also sounded more upbeat as well. 

 

Baseball mom--good luck to your son getting his wisdom teeth out too!  Good luck to all of them that are getting their teeth pulled. 

 

Hope everyone has a great day and a great weekend!

Thank you, my second letter was soooo much better. I think the boys are getting the hang of it now. lol
Seems like it's been forever since the last letter "sigh" Hope everyone gets a letter today! Go 07/358!

So glad the guys are able to write three times a week now ! My husband is the RPOC (leader) for now and he said the guys are coming around as a team and phone privileges will be back real soon ! :)

I got letter #3 today I was so excited for Wednesday to get here. Still waiting for a phone call.

I am still waiting on payments from several and as soon as those payments arrive I will ship your ribbons. There is still plenty of time to order and get them in time for PIR.

It's been said it's not about how you start, it's about how you finish. Best wishes for a strong finish for 07/358. :-)
Triva Tuesday & Wacky Wednesday contests at 10 am on Wednesday - How awesome would it be if we could win a picture of our SRs. Go 07/358. :-)
Was poised and ready today. Will not be around a computer to try tomorrow. Good luck to everyone else. Get us a pic of the great 358...
