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 love Thursdays! It is the day that I get letters from our SR! She sounds so much better as each week goes by. This letter talked about how chilly and windy it is getting and everyone's hats blowing off. The funny part, she said, was that everyone is freaking out about how to retrieve their covers without looking foolish and breaking military bearing. She just seemed more herself. She is Ship 11 Div 340 and said that if they did well this past Monday during inspections, they possibly could get another phone call this Saturday. She also said, "don't hold your breath!" Countdown to Oct. 19th!!!

HELLO Ladies.
Pleasant surprise to get a call from my son on Saturday. :-) We spoke for 32 minutes. He sounds real good. Ready for the rest of the challenge leading up to PIR. I got pretty choked up tonight when it was time to say goodbye. My one and only you know. For me, as long as he's in the Navy I don't think this will ever go away. But it'll get better after he's done Boot. Emails, Skype, phone calls, etc. :-) I'm looking foward to this while checking into ordering, sending him a laptop, etc.
To those of you still looking to purchase a pink scarf, here's a tip:Try Amazon.com. There's a good number of them. Even a pink bandana!! Some offer free shipping as well. And if you order now, you'll get them in plenty of time for your adventure to Great Lakes. Have a nice Sunday everyone.
