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."

Tonight is the big night for our SRs! When the calls start coming in ask your SR if everyone passed in their divison just in case some don't get to call as quickly. I am on another site and that is what the ladies have been doing on it. Please post as soon as you start getting calls so everyone has an idea of the time frame we are looking at. I think the wait tomorrow will be worse than the entire 7 weeks. I will have my blue candle lit at 8:00 and prayers going up for everyone that they find the strength and endurance that they need to make it through.

Yes, it is a Navy tradition that you leave a blue candle burning. It is used to show support for deployed sailors and to "show" them the way home. For the SRs, it is a symbol to show them the way from being a recruit to becoming a sailor.

We had scheduled to take the train, but it got cancelled 2 days before we were scheduled to leave due to track taken out of service. Could have had something to do with all the rain and flooding. We ended up driving the 11 1/2 hours. We got to spend some time with our son on Friday and he flew out Saturday at 1 p.m. to San Diego, so we went to the airport and visited with him until he boarded the plane. We then drove back home, so it was a very fast trip. He went to San Diego with 4 fellow 165 shipmates. They got to get out and do a little sight seeing yesterday. He said he is loving it all ready!
