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 hope so too. I cant wait to talk to him.. It's funny how he explained how things are so different there. lol. He said even the way he walks.. He has to cut the corners when he walks down the halls. I love it. :) He's learning so much. It's a good thing.

Very excited...I heard from my SR on Monday morning. He sounded so different. Happy, but looking forward to PIR. I also got my first letter. It arrived in time for my husbands birthday. I could not believe how much he wrote. I think it is probably the first letter he has ever written (outside school assignments).
Cannot wait to get on the plane. We fly in on Thursday morning, and home on late Saturday. He is due to fly to Pensacola for "A" school. Any thoughts on when his flight out might be??? I am wondering if we should switch our flight to Sunday.

THEY ARE CALLING! I just had a half hour phone call with my SR. He sounds great! He said his mail was kicked back so he had to resend it today. I'm a very happy mom right now. Aaaaahhhhh!

So happy that I got to talk to my SR yesterday :) He sounds so good and is doing great. He is going to Pensacola for school too. He said that he's made some best friends and that has helped him get through the tougher days. His call made my day and I can't wait for November!!!! :D

I got my first letter from my son yesterday, he's not much of a writer so the letter was pretty short. Either way, I was still happy to get it!!
