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."

Good Morning Hay'smom..I miss my daughter like crazy too..I feel the same way..I just need to hear her voice so I know she is ok..I heard that because they are carrying flags they might go to the PIR in November to carry the flags for them, sometimes pictures are put up on the facebook page. Do you have that page?
I just got my phone call!!!! Just being able to hear her voice made me feel so much better. Has anyone else received theirs yet? I hope so!
