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."

Sandy, just can't figure why you're so uptight today? I'm cool as a cucumber !!! Oh wait, my son isn't going through BS21 today...he doesn't go till tomorrow. Guess the jury is still out. I'm sure I'll be hanging by the phone just as eagerly as you are too. What we don't do for those simple little phone calls, right?

No call...........................not yet! I brought my lunch from home so I wouldn't have to leave the office. I rush to the bathroom as quickly as possible because I'm afraid he may call the office number. I'm a crazy person!!! I wonder if he has any idea how obsessive I have become? Phone, please ring.....its still working, but it aint ringing!! (sigh) I got Ben & Jerrys in the fridge - its time to eat some "feel good" food...8)

Ladies in Div 53 and 54.....We should also be getting calls as well. When my daughter called after BS, she said that they are going to Ricky Heaven on Monday, having a pizza party, and will have unlimited calls! So, keep those phones on you! :)

Came in to see if your phones were ringing yet. My call came at 2:15 last Friday(1:15 Chicago time), so you all should be getting close. We got snow again today, but the weather forcast is calling for clear skies from here all the way to Great Lakes the rest of this week! WOO HOO! Just what I've been praying for. Congratulations to all of you today, and your new sailors!

For those waiting for calls, praying they come soon! For those that got their call on Friday, check your local paper for the Navy Seaman completes basic training press release. Loved seeing my daughters name listed as a Navy Seaman!
