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."

Newnavymoms hang in there it is almost over . I know how hard this has been everybody . I could do anything for the first 3weeks and until I got my call. And even then it did not put me at ease. My son lost it when I said hello . But now he is doing much better . So just keep writing those letters . Less than 4 weeks to go .

Lucky day! Received a letter from my SR and a response to our questionnaire. Battle stations will be on *(OPSEC)! Here is hoping we all receive the "I am a Sailor call" on the 30th!! Prayers and thoughts for our SRs! If your SR calls you please ask how their division did and post here. I understand not all get to make the call if they have watch. It would be good to know for others that do not get a call.
*The RTC considers BS ship movement
