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 was thrilled to get any news from him too. Told me he is getting his wisdom teeth out, and get three days off after that, still worry though. So, hopefully we will meet too.

My son told me something about getting teeth pulled also about 6 months before he left, but I said not to worry since they did not bother him. i am really hoping he didnt get them pulled.
My son is EOD fron Houston. Did we meet at the swear in downtown at 10 and on the bus at 1130. My son is 6'2" and had a very short beard. Im terrible with names if we met.

Don't know if you have heard from your SR but I did yesterday. It seems that your son, that is from Denver and mine know each other. My son is Alejandro from Houston
At first he didn't seem to be doing well, he wrote his letter in journal type form and by the end he seemed a little better.
Have you received a letter yet? If not it is coming. He mailed it last Sunday and I got it yesterday so about 4 days.

I got my first letter yesterday, Thurs, and it was dated by him on Sat, so also took 4 days,
he said it was not that hard, and he had time after lights out to write, and was getting his wisdom teeth out on this past monday, so I am a little worried about him. I will look for you on the live chat later,

I heard from him today via the form letter and with a very quick handwritten note from him on the back. We hail from Houston,Texas.
I had been really missing him so this was a very wonderful blessing to get this today. I really didn't expect to hear from him until next week....but I will take it! -
