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."

Did the families reservations tonight. We are staying at the Homewood Suites Hilton and we are gonna go to Sarge's Meet and Greet. We are gonna fly into Milwaulkee on Southwest. I feel like I can breathe now. I am getting so excited. My SR's letters are sounding more like he is doing well. Can't wait to see him.

Hi KarenS! I'm still figuring out this website and how to reply! I am from South Dakota, but we have only been here for 4 years. We moved from Omaha, Nebraska when my husband had a job opportunity he couldn't refuse! Where are you at in Pennsylvania? I'm a big Steelers fan because my dad lived in South Heights, PA. I'm glad to hear that their division is doing better! I haven't got a letter yet this week.

Well got a letter tonight said things are going better and days are going faster but he did lose his job as the "cadence dude" but didn't say why, maybe that means he doesn't have to eat last anymore. LOL. Thinks he might be able to come home for christmas. Was nice to see his handwriting.

Sooooo happy received my letter yesterday and my SR said that boot camp is getting easier and they had a lot of inspections coming up but their unit is doing better which is a big change from last weeks letter saying their unit is the worst ever and he felt like he was in prison. LOL I feel so relieved and happy :) He asked me to find fun things for us to do in Chicago and the surrounding area while we are there for the weekend since he is staying GL for school we will hopefully have the entire weekend to spend together. Hope everyone gets their letters and their SR's sound good! :)
