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 think TLC569 lives somewhat closer to RTC than we do Deanna so maybe tomorrow will be our day. I am still at work and have not been home to check the mailbox yet so I am still praying for a letter today.

I got two letters today. I am so excited. He invited us to come up for Thanksgiving since he is in the adopt a sailor program. He said we can have him all to ourselves for 12 hours and his buddy will be with us. We ARE going!!!!!!! He usually dresses kinda like a bum all summer but he said he will be in his khakis so I don't have to worry - he will look good. Any moms out there with an SR Burns we will be taking your son to dinner.
