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."

So glad for your post- Zach's mom. I was a little worried for you,stay strong!!!
Our mother's heart hurts so much when our kids sound tried, sick or even frustrated. I try to remind myself of the young boy who thought he was helping a butterfly out on its cocoon, until to discover it's the struggle that makes the Butterfly's wing so strong and beautiful. The more we allow our SR's to struggle and do for themselves, the stronger they will be and the more confident in themselves they will be.

Paul's words to the men of Corinth have become my daily prayer:
I Corinthians 16:13-14
Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be men of courage; be strong. 14- Do everything in love.

Love, love, love this! I am going to use these verses to send to my son. He walked away from church a few months before he left for basic. But, I noticed in his last letter that he told me that he has been talking to God a lot lately after I said in my letter that I still pray every day for him and everyone else that is there. Thank you :)

My SR answered my questionnaire I shortened it because I knew some of the answers already. His job is RCPO (Religious Command Petty Officer) He is on the bottom bunk, and he is friends with his bunk mate. Yelling is always all day. The swim test was not bad but they were picky about the strokes. Some people make him laugh and that helps keep him going. He is getting second hair cut 9-12-12. He drew a picture of the Division Flag for us. I read his letters over and over, it's so good to hear from him. Miss him like crazy. Would love to get another call.
