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 hope RTC gets the PIR photos from today up before long... I know they do the best they can, but when you are waiting catch a glimpse of your child, who you haven't hugged in 7 weeks, it's hard. :( How pitiful that I am waiting for a silly picture, huh?

You are not pitiful. I am just as bad. I told my husband last night I am totally obsessed with the Navy now.

If your hubby is anything like mine, he just doesn't get it. These are our babies, they are just sons to their dads. It's different.

Not silly at all. I have been doing the same thing all day, but then they posted saying it will not be until later today or even this evening... :( So hopefully we will get to see our SR's soon. My friend received the "I'm a Sailor" call today from a different division. I can't wait to hear her voice saying that...How exciting....By the way I missed her call last weekend and was devistated...But remember we all only have one week until we get to give them a great big hug!!! WOO HOO
