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 was in a hurry to work yesterday but had cards and letters for your son another who was set back due to an injury. When I got to work I realized I never put stamps on them. So I'm waiting for the mailman to deliver them back to me! Story of my life

6 weeks down! 2 to go. I hope it goes by fast! I don't think my heart can take it. I'm driving everyone nuts with my Navy talk. I'm sure they all will be glad when I finally get to see him. My daughter told me that's all I talk about, little did she know I drove my sr crazy when she left for college. I just have so much love and pride for my kids! Hope everyone has a great day!

My son is in Div 016 and we haven't received a call since the 18th. In his last letter he said that if they did well they were going to be able to call this weekend but not to get our hopes up. Well, this weekend went by without any call so I am hoping things are going ok. I am hoping for a letter today :)

I can't believe its 12 days away, we are so excited! I feel like my life has totally come to a halt, All I think about is my son at boot camp. Everyone said that his time there will fly by, but I feel like I have been thinking about him almost every minute of every day. Once we are able to communicate with him more things will be better, its the not knowing that's crazy. PIR can't come fast enough! ⚓ ✪ ⚓ ✪ ⚓
