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."

Nothing since letters Thursday . . .maybe tomorrow . . . phone call would be even better! I was hoping to get a glimpse of him in the fire training picture but I don't think that was our division :-( Just mailed a short note.

Had a great day today everyone, I got 2 letters in the mail and he got a phone call home to me :) It was the most wonderful thing to hear his voice and I am going to cherish that call forever! I hope everyone got some letters this week! I told him that this blog helps me get through the time apart and that I hold onto every letter he sends and that gets me through each week! I am proud that he is doing good there and happy he loved the envelopes,stamps, and pics I sent <3 ! I really hope everyone is doing good here and am glad I have a support group to come too... I don't know much about the navy but if anyone just needs a friend to lean on and chat I'm here ... I know I was feeling down but today just gave me the boost I needed til graduation day! Ohh also I have a question ... Where do u learn all the navy abbreviations or terms that they use I Dnt understand some things and want to learn them! Thanks :)

He didn't really say much because I don't understand a lot of things about it but he said that they all are working together better than the first few weeks and he just told me there is a lot of tests and stuff....
