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."

Hi,
I haven't heard from her yet, but I've written a few letters. I can't wait to hear what is happening there.

@adieters I have not heard from my daughter yet either. Only the first 2 min phone call the the form letter. She did write a small note on the back of the form letter saying it was hard there and that they cut her hair really short. She said that she would write us a real letter when she had time. I think I have read that over about 30 times now.

I received almost the identical short note on the form letter. She said that they have already lost some people due to fainting and stuff (her words). She ended it with "They chopped my hair"

lol...now that's funny! If he is the only guy (and I'm sure he's not), he probably is either feeling real bad or real good...lol

I am also sure he is not the only guy, I am sure the other fellas moms will find us. Maybe????
If your daughters have met him ... then I am sure he has kept them entertained.... the only reason I was worried about him joining the Navy was his "comedic" personality. lol
I can't wait to meet all of you!!!
