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."

We don't want to accidentally overlook any of them or you.
Hang in there!!!

Anyone else here from OR or WA, or have SRs who are Nukes? Can't wait to meet folks at the Meet and Greet! Has anyone gotten a phone call this weekend?

My SR is DIV 120 too and the call came around 8:45PM EDT. He said there was a long line to make calls and wasn't even sure he was going to get a turn. Hang in there- you'll get a call.

I had an awesome conversation with my SR son this morning! It was only 15 minutes but, a very good call! He sounds like he has a cold, doing great on his tests!He had to do IT for a small issue, but he has learned his lesson. He can is on 4-2 day. Had been up since 0400! So good to hear his voice! I'm hoping everyone else had the chance to hear their SR's voice too!
