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 see that there are 2 meet and greets. There is one at the Ramada, and one at the Sundance Saloon. If you are going, which one are you going to any why? I am still trying to decide.

We picked the Sundance since I read so many good things about what Sarge does there. I heard the Ramada wasn't in the best part of town too. We are staying really close to the Sundance and the shuttle there was free.

We will be going to Sarge's at the Sundance Saloon. It's close to our motel and he sounds like an interesting man dedicated to supporting the military.

We are going to Sundance, but I think we were planning on stopping at Ramada, too, since the times overlap. I forget which starts first...
I do get good vibes about the Sundance one.

I got 2 letters on Friday along with the survey I sent (all in the self addressed envelope I sent with it). I started sending self addressed stamped envelopes in every letter now. My SR is in charge of the mail!!
He sounded good, passed all of his tests so far and physically qualified for spec ops and seals but said something about Nukes not being able to switch. That's fine! I love that he picked Nuke and will use that brain he never used in high school!
He said that not being allowed to talk to the girls is torture! Thought that was funny and sounded so much like him.

Hi, Michele! Is your daughter in Nukes?

I got a phone call !!!!!! He called my office and started with "Happy Birthday to me! Hi Mom!" I immediately yelled at the girl in the next office to call my husband and he ran right over. He seems to be doing fabulous! That totally made my day and I hope you all got your calls too. He didn't get an hour but we did get 40 minutes so I will take whatever I can get.
We needed this!

I got a call too! He said things are great. We got to talk for 45 minutes. I put him on conference call, so we all got to talk to him. It wasn't an hour, but every minute was amazing. Hoping everyone got their call. Merry Christmas!

I got my call, too! What a wonderful surprise it was. He updated me on all the stuff he's doing - I don't think he's ever been so busy in his life. Another 5 weeks, ladies, and we get to see our sailors. I miss him terribly, but I am so proud of him.
Merry Christmas to you, too!
