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."

SHIP 14 DIV 223......nothing from my SR :( Last time I spoke to him though, he did say that it would be a long time before he would call again. Not sure what "a long time" means. He also said the next 2 weeks were going to be hell weeks. Not sure what the weeks were labled prior to this! haha! This week ends week 1 of the 2. I haven't received any letters this week either. Hoping to get one today!

My SR is in Div 223 as well. I haven't heard from him in a little over 2 weeks. I know he is going through a very active two weeks so I'm hanging tight. When I do get to hear from him whether through mail or telephone he sounds great! Each phone call his enthusiasm for being in the Navy is higher and higher. He particularly likes the food. :)

Thank goodness for this communication, I did not get a letter or a phone call this week; it is reassuring (in a strange way!) to know that no one else has. I guess they are VERY busy. At least they have made it to the half way point. I am so nervous about going to Chicago - it will be lot of driving from the airport to the base. Prayers for our SR's & for all of their families.
