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."

Yes I am so excited with you! The more I think about it the more the days just seem to drag by so I'm trying not to dwell on it too much. I can't wait to see my sailor. I plan on recording the graduation. I don't know how I'll be able to stay in my seat when I see him.

That's nice that your son will have family nearby. I am hoping we can visit Ct. sometime this fall. Travis' birthday is in October. It would be nice if we could get out there near that time. I don;t know what the rules are once they are in A school. I guess it's almost time to start learning about that now the Basic is almost done. PS Diannep has battelstations dates for our division, friend her and she can message it to you. Have a great day!!

AAAAH! We're officially in the single digits counting down till next Friday I'm going to be so excited to see everyone reunited with their sons/husbands/boyfriends! Especially cause I get to see my sailor! I can't wait to see who is awarded what on the bootcamp.navy.mil/ site :)
This weekend I will be in shopping mode getting my outfit together for his graduation. 1) because it keeps me busy and 2) because I only get to see him once in 4 months! It's a pretty important outift! lol
Wishing you all the best XO -
