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."

Our SR called today in the middle of the day. He said it was a "scheduled call". He also said that today was week 2 day 5 on the training schedule. Tomorrow, Friday is week 3 day 1. So that helps if you are following along on the DEP website. Now we know what they are doing each day. We still haven't received any letters yet, but he said they were able to write letters on Sunday and they should have gone out in the mail this week. He said their division is a good one and they are doing well. I hope you all hear from your SR very soon. I'm hoping for a letter tomorrow. :)

I got a call today also. He too said it was a good division and things are well. I got my letter today, so hopefully you get one tomorrow. He said he has made some good friends, some that will be going to A-School with him too. Don't want to name names here of course, but send me a friend request if your SR will be going to Charleston. What a difference a phone call makes!
