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."

You have no idea. I'm still heart broken I didn't get one last week (mail man's fault, obviously) and just hoping for any kind of update tomorrow. I even ran extra hard in my work out last night to try and shake off this.... stress/anxiety? It's not working. The only cure is more letters.

My SR's girlfriend will be coming with me too. Just her and I. We are staying at the Ramada, so we figured we would check that one out and maybe head over to Sarge's? We am using Sarge for our ride to and from the airport and a ride to PIR. Maybe we will meet all of you at one or the other? My son said all or the Section Leaders are great! Having a good time! :-)

FINALLY FINALLY FINALLY!! The letter post-marked January 14 FINALLY arrived today! He is doing well, no news on schedules (hopefully I'll get a letter that wasn't written over 2 weeks ago tomorrow or Friday), and he included a list of silly things the SRs wrote down about their RTC experience so far. I didn't recognize the names (past his bunkmate) but I told him all the mom's & wives I've been chatting with so maybe his last letter will have something else to share.
The best part of it all -- He wrote a little note addressed to my cat that died two weeks ago. He is something else. <3

I got a letter!!!...it is dated 1/20/13 and said that the division blew its past two inspections out of the water!! They got a 4.95 in personnel inspection and a 4.99 on their weapons inspections. My SR also apologized for the short letter because they have a BIG test and inspection soon. It was grand to hear from him no matter how short it was!
