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 received my 3rd letter today What a day what a way to make a Friday even more perfect. My son sounds like he is having the great experience. I know my son has received his letters stated he likes getting them. But better when people write to him 1st, then he just answers questions they ask. I too am soooo ready for 11/18/11 I cannot wait to see the man he is becoming.

I GOT MAIL I GOT MAIL...doing a happy dance cuz I GOT MAIL! Calm down? Moi? No can do right now...too happy! My cat is hiding (ROFLMAO). Isn't it funny how something as simple as a letter can TOTALLY make your whole week! (I feel like Steve Martin in "The Jerk" - The new phone books are here the new phone books are here...things are going to start happening now!) There is absolutely nothing that can diminish the joy in my heart and the smile on my face.

Just got the bestest phone call of my entire life....20 minutes on the phone with Cameron. I had all sorts of things to ask and as son as I heard his voice I went brain dead...it was all I could do to not jump through the phone lines. Scared the beejeezis out of the cat. My heart is so much happier and lighter. My boy is growing up (guess I have to now too!). HAPPY DANCE HAPPENING HERE!

He must have been on the phone at the same time as Caitlin. She called me at 6:06pm, 20 minutes and lots of happy tears. I did the same thing with the questions, forgot every one. Need to write them down and mail them I guess.

Yes, me too. Our call ended at 6:55pm. We were on for almost an hour!!! I am sooooooooo elated to have gotten that call and I recognized the number. She knows my schedule so she figured I was on my way home. I was so scared she would call me at work since I get poor reception. It was so wonderful to hear my girl's voice.
Yay!! for all of us who got a call today :o)
