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 am doing ok today. I went with my family to the county fair so I kinda got my mind off worrying for a while. However, today the mail had surprise for me. My son finally got his associate degree from the college he attend while he was in high school. I wish he was here to see it, it was very hard for him to accomplish this while going to high school and working a part-time job.I pray all you ladies are having a blessed day as well. I do have a facebook http://www.facebook.com/#!/kttyrivera

Happy Sunday Ladies!! Well I'm hoping for a better week...Like getting the form letter but most of all a letter from my baby! Of course I wonder just how long it will be since all kids are use to texting...haha. Thought of Brandon this morning while my husband and I were eating breakfast because he would rock Sunday breakfast!! He is funny because before he left he gave us a list of foods he wanted as soon as he graduated..lol.That boy LOVES to eat! Well have a great day and I hope none of you are in the path of this storm if so be safe!!

I am really anxious today. I hope we get our PIR letters so I can send out a letter to my boy. I miss him so much already and it is so hard not to talk to him and I miss the hugs he would give me everyday.
