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."

Hey, I'm sorry to hear you had a bad day...I was like that the first two weeks..I was a mess, my eyes were so puffy I looked and felt terrible. It is hard trying to be around family and she is not there...But I know too she is doing what she wants and it is a very IMPORTANT decision. Yes, I hope we get letters...My mail lady should be here soon.
A friend,
Catrina
Hello, Good Morning!!!!!!!! Yes I love talking to you as well. I too, had a Great Day. My family all live about 40 min. away. My niece says I live in the boonies..lol But I really needed that, I haven't laughed like that since my daughter was home. I plan to move closer to my family....just waiting to get through the Graduation.
So no suit? I'm pretty sure you'll find something.. I plan to take something nice, but then also something warm and casual nice...if that makes sense. I will see when I get there. I don't know I'm really concerned for that COLD weather. I'm in California and I've never seen cold like they do. I guess thats where all my knitted and crocheted scarves come in...Have A Great Day! Talk to you soon.
A friend,
Catrina
Hello, glad to see your in the mood for shopping. I hope you found something. I know I did. I just need some good shoes, ones that cover and keep my feet dry and warm. I'm thinking of Boots.lol..
My day was nice. I went to visit my Parent's, my Sister's and my Neice's.... It was fun..I needed to get out of the house..I had a terrible night. I was up till 4:00 am. Couldn't sleep. But I managed to have a good day with family. I hope your day was good. Did you get a letter today? I hope she is getting my letters. I try to send one everyday. I have a letter to write, just got home. So I will talk to you later...:-}
Hi, I am so glad you got a letter and that she is ok now..I didn't know she was unhappy in the beginning. Well It would be nice if our daughters were watching out for each other...I know my daughter said there were a few that had a tough time in the beginning, She blamed it on the lack of sleep.My daughter was up for 38 hrs... But that is so great to hear your daughter is eating and that your prayers were answered. I did get my letter yesterday, she's doing good so far. Yes, I do plan to go to graduation. How about you?
Hi, I don't know if you got my message, I'm sorry I confused you with all the other mom's, I didn't mean to say son...
Have you heard from her? I hope everything is ok on your end...be strong...I'm trying.
Catrina
Hello there, Yes I keep track of how cold it is up there, she is not use to that type of weather...I heard on this site somewhere that they closed the Recruit Training Command due to a storm coming in...I wander if that is gonna delay the PIR 3/18/11.
Yes, glad to have found another mom in the same ship and div. So you haven't heard from your son? I am hoping for a letter this week sometime..or a call.
