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 have to say that having a boy away is easier than it must be having their daughter. We are so counting down first letter, and next phone call. Yes, I would love to hear from you more and meet you at their grad!! Where does she go for A-School?

Korbin will be going to Pensacola Fl. He will be doing air rescue. We received his box containing his cell phone yesterday. Now we await the form letter with Grad info and his address so we can write him. Can't believe it's only been 1 week.

Yes- it was, there was a shred of hope he could keep his phone, and possibly have the privilege of calling us....but alas, no. So now we wait for some kind of communication. Have you heard from your daughter? How did you get your Ship and Div. info? We are excited about his A-school too, thank you. Yes week 1 was a toughy, and dragged by.

So Korbin is in Ship 12 and Div. 397. There are some guy/girl buildings, but I don't know which one he is in. You should be finding out your grad date soon.
