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."

I hope so!! Talking to him put so many of my fears to rest. He is tired and homesick but his attitude was so positive and strong. I'm so proud of all of them! He said more calls on Saturday if not before :)

Does anyone know much about the Hilton Ohare hotel? I know it's located at the airport but if I booked a room here could my husband come to my room before his flight to A school? I know they can't leave the airport once they check in so would this be ok?

Hi everyone. I just found this group and I am so excited that I did. My son is in Div 305. I finally got my first letter from him 8/7 and I got my first call yesterday 8/8. He sounded great on the phone and said that everything was going well. It was amazing to hear his voice and know that he is okay.
