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."

Yes, tune in every Tuesday and Wednesday at 12:30 eastern. They post the contest at 1.... Everyone is super quick to respond but not everyone who responds first has the right answer.... It's really nice. I would love to see my SR before 12/02/11

Has everyone gotten their form letter yet? I am awaiting a letter now. I have my phone ringer on high and the most obnoxious ring tone so that I dont miss his call. I washed his bed sheets and made the bed again. I am sad but excited because his brother is coming to visit next weekend and he can use brothers room. I thinks this sounds so funny but do not want to use names.

Yes, I got my form lettter on the 15th...and waiting, not so patiently, for the first letter! Phone is attached to my hip and can't wait to hear his voice! :)
Doesn't sound funny at all....since we don't use names on here, that's what makes the Meet and Greet a lot of fun. We actually get to use real names! :) Hope your letter gets to you tomorrow!!

I got my first "Sunday" letter. Check your mail! He said to be expecting a call in a week or so!
They took out his lower wisdom teeth. :(

YEHA, I got a letter.....a wonderful, great, fantastic, beautiful 5 page letter!!!!!
God, now I miss him again just like the days after he left. He did say that this DIV BC is WAY harder than the non-special ops BC.
I had sent him a Q&A letter asking him different questions about different things, just a short question and in the same line had a Yes or NO or Sometimes....asked him to circle the answer and perhaps a word of two....he sent that back, so had lots of questions answered that way.....wanted to share this w/all of you, good way to find out about things......
He also asked me to go on his FB page (funny, he would not even let me be his friend befor he left) and let his friends know his address so thay can write.....they all REALLY love the leters!
Now a very Happy Mom of a SR
