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."

Monica, our phone calls will "probably" come Thurs. morn. between 8-9 a.m.( 2-25) I AM JUST PRAYING AND WAITING FOR ANY CALL now, especially the one after battle-stations+, when we will know they are sailors. Also the call that says whether they are grad-n-go, or not. I am holding my breath on that one. Glor

Yeah, it would suck Major torpedos! Ha! I don't think it's fair that we are all left hanging in the lurch! My flight doesn't leave till 2:00 pm. on the 25th, but still, we will already be packed and ready to go.

I hope we here before we get on the plane. The airlines said we could change our tickets but may have to pay more for them of course. I just hope and pray our boys (men) make it. I can't wait any longer to see my baby... LOL

Clarissa, I surely hope that is not the case of receiving the phone calls the morning of our flights but I have read this many times already on the older sites of Moms who already went thru P>I>R> I am leaving Thurs. 25th, out of Newrk. in the afternoon ( G. W.) The phone call comes between 8-9 a.m. What do you do??? Hope and pray it is the call you want to hear. I can't even think about it it gives me chills. Our sons arein the same div. and it seems so far so good. They are working as a team and have "gelled", and that's a real good thing. Sorry to hear about the pink-eye, but once that's out there especially in close quarters, your bound to get it. But if they did pick it up better now than next week, right?? I am calling the Public Affairs Office in the morning. There hours are 8-4. 847-688-2405 I will try to get some live answers as far as b.st. dates, grad-n-go status, and when do they tell us?? All they can do is say they can't say, but I amgoing to try. Glor
