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."

SR SATIRE- Or funnies from our kids
Now that we're nearing the "letter" phase of BC, I wanted a place that we could post humorous quotes from our SR's in their letters. (Hoping there are some! lol) Humor goes a long way in cheering our lonely mama and papa hearts! So post em when you get em!

Not a direct funny from my daughter, but something funny that she's done... I heard from 3 of her friends last night that they had received letters from her! Excited that she was writing, but then they went on to tell me that none of them received the letter that was meant for them. example: one friends letter was addressed to her on the envelope, but the actual letter was addressed to my daughter's dad and step mom! lol she must really be tired! HOPE I GET THE RIGHT LETTER THIS WEEK!!!

Had to share this one......Just got letter from SR. He went in undesignated (no rating) and was very worried. They do 3 weeks after boot and get shipped to their first command so he already has orders. They get to fill out a "dream sheet" with their preferences in different categories-type of ship, which ocean, which coast, what foreign port. Here's what he said about his orders, "It's like being in prison and then when they discover they have put an innocent person in jail, they give you everything on your Christmas list to Santa Clause"!!!............ LMAO!!.....at least he has managed to keep his sense of humor! He is going to Japan and he is on a medium sized ship.

LOL! That's awesome MrsT! My daughter drew a picture of her "stripes" and said, "this is what I am" then she drew another pic and said, "this is what I want to be" it was a pic of Admiral strips! Lol
Are you keeping your daughter home from school so she can talk to daddy? -
