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."

We were so happy this afternoon when we finally received 2 letters from our Daughter. One was for her dad and I and one was for her brother. It sounds like she is doing well, but looking forward to eating "real food" again. She says that she has been assigned to her division 005, as the Mail Petty Officer (not to sure what that entails). We still haven't received a phone call other than the one that we received when she got to Great Lakes. Hopefully soon!

Nope! So glad my class is starting today. I'm keeping my phone plastered to my body, but trying to get my mind on other things. Yesterday, I cleaned the junk piles in my house that always seem to accumulate to stay ready for a call. At least I woke up to a very clean house! Thursday is mail day for me, if he sent another letter Sunday. Until then, I'm grateful for the knowledge he is in good place working toward his goals in the Navy. I resolve to do the same here at home, one day at a time. I just found another mom on another discussion who is having a very hard time who lives in my town. I asked to be friends so we can get together and talk. Reaching out to a fellow mom and getting a hug will be a blessing, for sure!

I got my letter the same day as the call so I haven't opened the letter yet. I know he is doing very well, so I want to spread-out the joy through the weekend.

Yes, that is the plan. I've never been there and can't wait to visit after I finish school in March. Are you from Philadelphia? I'm north of Houston. I love your wedding cake, by the way. Can't see the dress very well, but you look like a beautiful and happy bride.
