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."

Got a call from my niece and she said that the first week was awful because they were not allowed to work out or anything because they were trying to figure out how to integrate them. She is going EOD and did say all the girls were great!

We will be staying at the Ramada Thursday through Monday. I read in one of my groups that if my son has A school at Great Lakes..he would have liberty from 4pm Friday until Sunday at 9pm. Having to go back to barracks every night before 9,ofcourse. If it is true he will have liberty on Sunday, i do not want to miss any of it. :) Still have not purchased the plane tickets though. We may do the 14 hour drive if everyone in family wants to go.

My niece is div 379 ship 4 and I received a phone call from her on Friday night finally! Almost missed her call because I had left my phone in the car, got it just in time. She had earned a reward so we got to talk for 15 min. She said everyone in her division was awesome. She is going EOD and I was happy to hear that there are two other females also doing this with her.

Sure hope we get a personal letter from our kids soon. Maybe the letters coming out of there will not take as long to reach us as the letters we are sending them.
