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 think I solved the illegible writing puzzle. In my sons letter he said he was writing me "military style" which is on his knees, since they cant use a desk or the floor. He didn't have the nicest handwriting before, so now I really understand! Just imagine, with all they are going through and this is how they write us! We really do have the best, don't we!

Has anyone gotten a call this weekend? I haven't heard from my SR since last Saturday and I didn't get a letter this week either. :( My son had his wisdom teeth pulled on Monday and I have yet to find out if he is ok. I am assuming that I would have received a call if he wasn't, but I still wish I could know for sure. Please, if anyone hears from their SR, can you ask if TW from NC is doing ok after having his wisdom teeth out? I would SO appreciate it!

I got a call on Thursday the 24th and a letter on Wed. I was happy I was home, since it was about 4pm and not usually when they get to call. I thought something was wrong, but he said it was on the schedule. I asked him if he'd still get to call on Sat. and he wasn't sure. I was afraid he wouldn't, and obviously didn't.
He said this is hell week coming up now. A bunch are still sick, and he is too. He passed all his tests so far. His voice was hoarse and he was just exhausted. He said he heard Miley Cirus was pregnant and I told him I hadn't heard that. Afterwards I thought how funny that he would ask that. I can imagine its like a game of post office that someone heard bits and pieces and the next thing you know its not the same story at all! lol

.Happy Monday Fellow Division 21 and 22 Moms, Dads, Wives, etc. Just a reminder that tomorrow is Tuesday Trivia. The Navy Recruit Training Command FB page usually posts the questions between 11:30- 11:45 (but there is no scheduled time). The first person to answer all of the questions in order, completely and correctly wins a picture posted of their SR's division so if one of us wins.... we all win. :) I will be trying hard and hope you can too. Have a great week, y'all!
