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 am hoping that she too can bond with someone. She has never been away from home this long and I never thought I would get a letter telling me she is so homesick and I think the injury is getting her down. She is a physically active person and loves PT but the injury may be setting her back. I wonder if it will change her grad date? I too hope we get a phone call soon. I have not met anyone else from her division. I wonder if any of the SR's have been getting phone calls. That is awesome that your daughter has some good friends now. Gives me hope that my daughter is making some friends as well. I am fortunate that I can go for Christmas. Probably would not have been able to do it any other time. I have heard that the adopt a sailor program works really well. Crossing my fingers for letters and phone calls.

Hi Leanne, We have not made reservatins yet. My friend stayed at the Residence Inn in Waukegan and recommended it to us. They have a meet and greet and close to base. I think there is a Super Wal Mart as well. Where is the meet and greet that you are referring to?

OMG, that is so great. When did you get it? So excited for you. Maybe I will get a call soon. My mom got a letter dated December 4th and she is doing much better. She passed her Physical test and was so excited because she even beat the guys in sit ups. Her injury must be better. Can't wait for my call.

Hooray! I got my call today I'm so happy. My daughter sounded upbeat she said she had passed her swim test. Keep in my mind she did not know to swim until 3 months ago. She took swimming lessons at our local fitness center. I'm soooooooo happy. I'm looking forward to PIR 1/13/12. We plan to drive from Texas. I pray the weather cooperates. Pray for us.
