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."

Still no calls & only the 1 letter from my son. Except for the Thankgiving adoption letter. Filled it out & emailed it back already. My son also put down a buddy that will be joininng us. Excited to see my son & meet his buddy. Just wish he would write or call. Pretty sure his fingers aren't broke or I'd be notified. LOL

I'm am working on having someone sign out my boyfriend in div 021 for Thanksgiving. Is there anyone that would want to do it if this falls through? I'm not sure if your SR also has to be in div 021. The form letter just says same TG but after talking in circles for a few minutes someone at the public affairs office said it has to be same division... Not really sure if he was right or not.

Oh goodness. I am on cloud 9 right now!! My hubby called about an hour ago. He got a 10 minute phone call because he won some challenge!! I have been having a terrible 2 weeks, and was praying to hear his voice! God is good!! Div 022 is doing really really well. The past 2 inspections they have had, they were the best on the base!!! a score of 4.91 out of 5!! And snail mail seems to be speeding up! The letters I sent on 10-31 arrived today 11-5!! Their next scheduled phone call is on MONDAY (1 week from today) but my husband said that Chief is really happy with their division so they might get a phone call on Sunday too, so keep your phones charged and on you at all timess!!!!!
