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 my boyfriend would much rather text, too! lol. We're still always hopeful, though. At least he's honest, and you know that about him and don't have to worry :)

I'm going to treasure that 1 letter....because it may be the only one he writes! After he gets his cell phone back...it will be texts, and no voice mail set up (so no chance of leaving a voice msg). LOL! But, yes, at least he's honest. :) Can't wait until we get those calls after BS! Hope you get a letter from your boyfriend soon...hear it is really busy right now. I'm just writing...and writing..and trying to send encouragement; and keep telling him I don't expect letters...to just concentrate on BC. Can't wait until we see them again! I know I will get a great big hug...and it will make my day! I'm sure you are getting excited, that you will see your boyfriend in 2 weeks! Hang in there! :)

I've been writing every day as well, sending all my love and support :P He's been very greatful in the letters he's sent back. They mean a lot to me, so I'm hoping to get some this week but tomorrow is the last chance and I just don't see it happening. I don't have enough luck for it to happen.

Sailormom - I am so happy for you!!!! I hope everything is going good, and he is staying positive! :) Unfortunately, I didn't get a letter from my son....but I keep telling myself..."No news is good news!"...."No news is good news!" :) I can't wait for the 7th either!

Sailormom - No letter...no phone calls for 3 weeks now. I am hanging on every word everyone writes! :) I know that my son is giving it his all though! He wants this so much! Yes, he is going to Pensacola for A school. I would love to meet up at graduation, and to stay in touch. It will be so much nicer when they get there...and we can actually visit them (or at least me...since we are over 50 miles from base). I can't wait! I'm so excited for him!!!

We are from North Alabama...I've got to check out Map Quest..and start planning! :) I'm hoping someone from 09/088 or 087 has information on their BS date(s), and shares with Diannep, so she can let us know. We are going to have a long talk about the importance of writing letters, when I talk to my son! LOL!
