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 made it to the movies today. I followed advice and put my phone on vibrate and placed it under my bra strap. I did not receive a call not thinking I would. I know it is still early. It is interesting to read the emails of the moms I was 2 weeks ago. It does get easier. I got my blue candle burning morning to night. I know my SR is where he wants to be. Saw My Weekend with Marilyn. Michelle Williams is amazing in this film. I'm adjusting and doing the best I can. I do miss my SR. Yes, a short phone call would be nice. After I get that first one, I will send a new phone card. Another thing I do for my SR is make him a news letter. Current news, sports, local news. Stuff I know he would be interested in. I combine days too. Have a good night. Lisa D. Dayton, Ohio.

That would be awesome, I went to my mailbox yesterday hoping to see a letter. I hope I get one today. I have sent about 8 of them just this week. I had been saving them since he left.

I have went paperless billing so I do not receive bills in my box anymore just junk with things here and there so I check it maybe 2 times a week. but since he has left it is get off work, drive home (speed limit 70/I go 80 or 85) and hope a letter is there. my daughter laughs at me because I tell her not to get the mail because I want to get the letter out myself if it comes. She tells me I am a Dork. she says I am like a kid with a new toy that no one can touch. Gotta love her though she keeps me sane.

So, do we know if this division is all male or an integrated division?

Also, I'm thinking they must be on week 2 day 3 or day 4 at this point (Friday). My form letter is postmarked the 10th, so they were in the division by either Monday or Tuesday. Anyone else have some idea? I know, we are pretty much guessing at this point.

Hmm, I got my letter that was also post marked the 10th, there was a holiday this week so maybe they are running a day behind. Maybe we will get one today instead. I hope so.
