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."

Hang in there ladies :) They will come. I am writing a letter a day to Christian. I asked him to let me know if there anyone isn't getting letters so I can write to them too. I don't want anyone to feel left out at mail call!
I was able to change my reservation to Ramada Waukegan! Yay!! I'm looking forward to it all. I meet all of you wonderful moms and family members in 40 days and get to see the handsome smiling face of my darling son in 41 days. Countdown!

I'm so bummed out, we can't change our hotel reservation without canceling the entire trip we booked. Oh well I guess we will have to meet the day of.
Does anyone know about getting an additional ticket for my youngest son? He is 7 and can't be left alone in the hotel during the ceremony. Will they let him sit on my lap? -

You can have four guests on the list. If your son makes five people, then I would be happy to let you put him on our list because we have three people. Please let me know so I can let Christian know as soon as possible so he can make the adjustment.
Also, I don't know how you booked your trip, but did you try to call and find out. Plead your case and maybe they will give you a break. If not, you can still come even if you aren't staying at the hotel. I hope things can work out for you all to be there.

Would you really be able to let him use the extra ticket? That would make both of them so happy!!! I wouldn't even know how to show my appreciation to you for doing such a wonderful thing for our family. I sent you a friend request, I will email you his name in a private email. Thank you so much!!! I will try and call orbitz to see if they can change the hotel without incurring fees.

It would be my pleasure! You need not do anything in return, ok? Don't worry about it at all. ~smile~

MY FIANCE CALLED ME JUST NOW!!!!! She's the Yeomen of the division and she says the division will be on week 1 day 5 tomorrow and that the division will get their first phone calls not this weekend but next weekend. So moms/dads/significant others, be prepared for the phone calls. If one of our SR's don't call on the same day as the rest of the division its because they have watch, but they will get a chance to call within the next few days after the day of the calls.

Wow!!! So happy for you. I can't wait for a call or even a letter. What was the number they use to call from?
-

Thank you!!! The number was an 847 area code. She also said that they just sent out all their mail for the first time today so hopefully by the end of the week all the Div 016 family members will have mail =]

Oh I'm so excited!!!! This is going to be a long week of waiting for either the call or a letter. But well worth it. So are they still on schedule to grad on Dec 2?
