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."

Thank you FTLW for all of your hard work with all of these groups. I know from being here that we are all going through the same thing at the same time. A kinship. Makes me feel better.

Your SR typically gets to make one call and he decides which number number to call house vs cell. I have heard of some being able to make more then one. Keep you cell very close this week. They line up by height and wait in line at the pay phone, the RDC controls how long they can stay on.

My son is on Ship14 Div 065. Unfortunately thats all I know because everything goes through his wife and then filtered to me. I dont expect any phone calls, maybe a letter, but I will be at his graduation to show my pride. This website, forum makes me feel so much more informed, this is a whole new world to my family so I couldn't be more grateful for everything I learn!!
