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."

I've been doing pretty good lately but this morning in church I just wanted to cry. Just having a pity party. :( I hope these last weeks go by fast. I think I'll be ok when I am able to hear from him. So hard to just lose all contact!

Thanks much OklahomaMama! We got a call at my Mother in Laws so my husband and I and everyone else got a chance to talk with my son. Greg mentioned someone named Ethan and said that they were friends. Does anyone have a son named Ethan J? I would love to connect with Ethan's mom:). I will definitely have my phone ready on Wednesday for the phone call. I really appreciate the advance warning - it helps me to settle down in between calls.

You are very welcome!!! I'm glad I can give a heads up when calls are possible. I hope it helps people be ready, and not miss a phone call. They are supposed to be having a down day Wednesday for some reason, and that is why they'll get to call. :)

Still so happy after the call. Son was sick with the "crud" and had SIQ one day and on limited light duty for three days. Said they gave him antibiotics, throat spray, lozenges and allergy medicine and he's feeling good now. I asked about wisdom teeth and he doesn't have to have any taken out! Yeah.

Said they just got done marching for 2 hrs...In his letters he said that he likes marching because he gets to be outside and that is the only time they are outside....lol
