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."

rolandsmommy... Chicago O'Hare, then Chicago Midway.. Are the closest.. The other would put you into Milwaukee, Wisconsin... But I believe that's the furthest... The cheapest we found was with Southwest into Midway...

Plus Southwest has no change charge should anything change with your SRs status or PIR date

Was hoping for a call today and nothing :(
My SR dad came by to bring us some Navy stickers for our cars, thought that was really nice. I could see that he is missing our boy. Looking forward to PIR 6/28 . -

I got a call on Saturday, too. I tried not to cry but I couldn't help it, I was so happy. Hearing his voice was the best thing in the world. He accidentally sent his list of addresses home in the box instead of the letter he wrote for his dad so he had to wait until he got my letters to be able to send any of his own. I should get 2 letters this week, I'm so excited! I'll be checking the mail like crazy!
