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."

No letter here either.. so frustrating!! Any way... went to the gym today and took kyle's ipod! I hit most played 25 and it was awesome. My kid is a perfect combo of me and his Dad with a little of his own flair thrown in there. I enjoyed todays work out more than any since he left last week. I cant wait to go tomorrow and see what else he has in store for me,lol... Hope everyone is having a great day. Grab your kids ipod and listen!! Really helped me!

No letter from Great Lakes for us either. How very sad.... I'm missing that kid....I sent a text message to him, funny it made me laugh. I love that you used Kyle's ipod at the gym, that's great, good idea. I wonder if our guys are missing us like we're missing them.

I'd like to think so but they probably stay very busy lol. I think we as moms win in the missing game! :). I'll miss him no matter what. I'd honestly like to believe they don't have time to miss us as much. That would make me sad to know he felt like this.

Well the sun is shining on this beautiful Wednesday morning, blue sky...I think this is the day we'll get our letters! Have a great day, ladies, its off to work time.
