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 Peggy - lets keep those "no call" vibes going! Wish I knew when was the safe zone too - lol Don't be too hard on yourself about your grandson - is someone else able to go be with him during PIR? So glad you will be close to him in San Antonio!

Woah, I just received an 847 call but not from the normal numbers I see when it's from my SN. It was an automated message about paying too much for car insurance. Talk about making my pulse rush.

My SR says he is doing very well & he's ready to be done but aren't they all. I'm getting so antsy! I got a 45 minute phone call with him on Sunday! It was fantastic! Well, I just want everyone to know that WE ARE ALMOST THERE! So happy for my babe in becoming a SAILOR! Hang in there ladies!

Can we really breath now? I feel so bad for the kids that have gotten hurt and are delayed. I will be so glad when his folks get the I"M A SAILOR phone call. We are 73 and 75 so decided we had better stay home during the cold weather. He knows he is in our hearts and in our prayers. Can't wait til he gets to San Antonio.
