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."

It's getting cold here in Ohio,but I just got the mail and had a letter from my son and it gave me a warm feeling. He still has his sense of humor so things must not be going too bad.

Yes, it is very cold here 43 miles north of GL (which is where I live) Even predicting a dusting of snow this evening. By 11/22 it will most likely be pretty chilly !
We received three letters today at the house. !! Yes, three!!!! He sent one to his brother, Dad & me. All separately. He was upbeat but said he really missed the food. He feels he doesn't get enough to eat and is losing weight. I read somewhere that there is a weight requirement. I hope he passes it. He said their division is really coming together. That's good to hear. He didn't say whether he'd be able to call before BS so hopefully he will.

Good Morning everyone!!! I haven't received any letter from my SR except the one he wrote the first Sunday he was there. I'm guessing he's waiting for our replies before writing back! lol Looks like I'll have to hold on to "no news is good news!" I'm glad he is busy though to make the time go faster for him.. perhaps I need to find more things to do myself lol! I can't wait to hear about all he is doing and more than that for PIR to see him!!
Stay strong ladies and keep smiling those proud smiles! :)

My SR asked me what PIR met in his last letter. Had no clue. So when I wrote my last letter I explained it to him. We actually know one of their acronyms before our SR' s. That is so hard to believe!! Lol. STAY STRONG EVERYONE!!
