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."

OK Ladies,
Going to bed and get some sleep. Leaving you with the knowledge that I just checked and we have over 1400 comments on this discussion. I think that says some very nice things about our group. And most of them would be true :-)...just kidding. You are an awesome group and your support is invaluable. Just can't wait for PIR and getting to know each other in person.
Have a nice evening,

JUST GOT MY CALL!!! Eyes are a little damp. She did sound scripted but no UMMMs. She called on her cell phone. Told me we would get a box and letter and another phone call in about 3 weeks. She sounded good.

Thanks everybody. I am going to go to bed. I hope the best to those who have kids leaving tomorrow. If I have time I will check in before work. If not, it will be tomorrow night. This site is blocked at work. I think anything that would be considered social networking is blocked.
