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."

Got our call too, he got 30 minutes total time so he called his fiance for 20 and we got 10, then she texted us and we compared calls so we'd all get everything he said. He said they've been to the range and done their shooting. PIR is getting sooo close.

sday: Yes, if another SR doesn't have family coming, he/she can put your SR's guest on their list. But those guests must "sign in" under that sailor's name.
They should be updating their lists for the final time this week, if they haven't already. Just remember...extras should be able to get in regardless. So bring them! They may have to wait in the Visitors Center for a little while, but sometimes not.

WE GOT ANOTHER LETTER TODAY! What a great surprise! In this letter our son says there is a lot of laughter happening through out the day. It sounds like they are having a good time now that they are getting to do the "fun stuff". It's almost time!

Okay, I misread. Good, I'll keep sending also. I write everyday too. I end up writing the dumbest stuff just to write something. Jokes and pictures. He says he doesn't care just keep sending. It's the least I can do. See you in less than 10 days!

The mail will be sent to wherever they go after PIR. It may take a while, but will eventually catch up.

I have long ago run out of anything to say but I write everyday, too. I write the most mundane stuff but when I talked to my SR last Thurs, he said, "It breaks up the bleakness" to read the letters. I got a letter today which was written last Tuesday so the mail is really behind. I think I will write through Sat. PIR is finally in sight!
