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."

Is one of you the mom of an aviation electronics rate? In his letter, my son said he and the guy in the rack next to him are the same rate, so they'll be together through boot camp and A-School in Pensacola.

Cool! I wonder if he's in the rack next to my SR. Small world. I figured the chances of that person being on N4M's was pretty slim, but just maybe...
Don't forget to join the group for Pensacola A school, too! I figure I can start gathering Pensacola intel for my SR before he gets there, and then fill him in later. LOL

Got a call!!! Saturday at 5:30 Pacific time, talked for 15 mins. He sounded so good, said most (if not all) of the Div is sick. Despite feeling a little under the weather, he sounded so wonderful! He loves what he's doing, not a second of doubt or second thoughts. Oh, it was so so so good to talk to him. I hope everyone got calls today.

Hi All,
My son is also in ship13, Div. 374. Can't wait to see him October 4th. I miss him terribly but am also happy for him. Luckily, I did speak with him yesterday. He said most everyone in his division are sick with something or other (including my son). I hope his Dad and I can spend the graduation weekend with him since he will be staying in Great Lakes for his A school.
