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."

Just received a letter from my son (I think it was written Sunday, 11/9 since we are only a few miles away). He is counting too (20 days left). They just were issued dress whites/blues and Peanut Butter uniforms and had their pictures taken. He said "I definitely am getting some sense of pride with them"; I imagine that speaks for most everyone.

Hi everyone. Missed my sons call. I feel terrible :)

Oh showgirl, I'm so sorry :-( I hope he gets to call back. I'm so glad there are a few of you here. Makes me feel a little better. It's so hard to know how homesick he is and not be able to do anything.

Oh no! Hope he gets to call again. I have been living w/ my cell phone attached or I would have missed mine too. I know how the teenagers feel about their phones now, lol.

His voice mail made me cry. He sounded so sad that he didn't get me. And I was 15 minutes away from him at my work. And all I want to do is give him a hug. I bet they wouldn't really buy that at the gate huh?

I can't imagine being so close.
Probably wouldn't go for the *I just want to hug him* thing, lol! Definitely more IT if that happened!
