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."

Ugh... No letter today either. I hope his doctor's appointment went ok. I sure do miss him.

Comment by sammy1990 on July 29, 2015 at 8:22pm
someone who more recently had a child in fit would be more helpful with letters, but I do remember a time when they were restricted to only writing (mailing) on Sunday.
Comment by sammy1990 on July 29, 2015 at 8:20pm
you are very welcome, Kathryn. my life changed a little bit those 3 weeks my son was in fit. I feel a calling to stick around and help ppl with the challenging times.
Comment by Alex's_Mom (Robin) on July 29, 2015 at 8:10pm

No letters today :(...  Maybe tomorrow (I hope)

Comment by Katheryn on July 29, 2015 at 4:31pm

Sammy 1990 a special thank you to you. Don't know if I could have kept my spirits up without your encouragement, Thank you!

Comment by Mom3 on July 29, 2015 at 1:26pm
Yeah, she said that the outgoing mail was stuck...something about a "sorter." I hope you get some today, too! :)
Comment by Alex's_Mom (Robin) on July 29, 2015 at 1:05pm
Mom3 - I live near Legoland in Florida and I haven't received any letters since the 16th, when he called he asked if I had received his letter and I said not since the 16th. I hope I get one or more today.
Comment by Mom3 on July 29, 2015 at 10:47am
We heard from our daughter Sunday, as well. Yedterday, we got home to find 9 letters from her all at once, ranging from 7/16-7/22. She had told us on Sunday that outgoing mail, there, was "stuck" for some reason. So maybe you'll be getting some mail soon, too.

We're praying hard for that good new phone call today.
Comment by Alex's_Mom (Robin) on July 29, 2015 at 10:12am
Nope, no girlfriend yet. Sunday was the last time I heard from him. I haven't received a letter since the Thursday 7/16 (dated 7/12).
Comment by Mom3 on July 29, 2015 at 10:09am
Alex'sMom, if he has a girlfriend, maybe he's been calling her? I know how frustrating it is to not know what's going on. I hope you get a good news call soon, too! Hang in there!
