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."

MaryK, what if we all send them cards with sound? I'm up for it. If we do, will they have to do ITs until the battery dies?
-
-
I guess we will know when the calls start! I don't know if tomorrow is day 6-4 for division 049 or if it is a hold day. I guess I just need to keep my phone close at hand 24/7. No more misplacing it! lol

Dawn, I think it is a Navy Mom thing. The other day I saw a car in front of me with a licence plate cover like mine that says Navy Mom. I wanted to stop her and say "HI" We have a strong bond.
-
-
OK, I need help. 049 was on day 5-5 Christmas eve and on hold until Monday, which makes Monday 6-1. He said that he has final PFA on 6-2 and Test Three on 6-4. After that he would do BS. So, now I am SOOOO lost. I have no idea which days they are on hold (Holiday) and which days are not.
-
-
I am lost. I guess the schedule of BS is not correct. Last time my son called, he said that he would have his final PFA on Monday, Jan. 4. I will have to go and re-read his letter and see if there are any changes. He spoke in Navy BC days, so it might take a few minutes to sipher through the info and the days 5-5 ect.
-
-
Well, I was just told that I have been on here all day, and others want the internet, so I guess I need to go for now.
I'll be back later Ladies.
Adamsmom, I know you WILL get a call. I'm sure he is on watch! (((((HUGS))))) for now.

Mary, I will try to make the party tonight. I missed it last night, but either way, I will hold my glass of wine to all the new sailors and those still waiting!
This group is such a GodSend!
