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."

I also got a call from my daughter. It was so nice since I did not get to talk last Saturday. I was more happy for her because she got to talk to her 2 yr old daughter.

Oh my goodness, those with little ones deserve so much respect and support. I know its hard to be away from my daughter but she is 18 and grown. For those leaving little ones it is so incredibly difficult! When my husband would leave when he was in the Marines it was always difficult. SO glad they have good grandparents helping! :)

Good Morning everyone! I received another call from my daughter yesterday, was able to talk to her for 45 min. She sounded alot better and said her div is slowly pulling together (so glad to hear). On the up side she said the food was really pretty good. hahaha. Glad to see other moms/dads/and kids are able to talk to their SR. Have a great day everyone!!!

I, too, got to talk with my son on Saturday. It was a much better call than the week before. He sounded so much happier, calmer, more confident! Says the division is beginning to come together and they have a real good chance at earning an academic flag. He got to speak with his younger brother, too which helped them both. Hearing from my son was like a nerve tonic; now I don't worry so much. I am just counting down the Fridays!
I'm doing the happy dance with all of you who got to talk with your SRs over the weekend!!

I can't imagine leaving a little one either!! As you say; it is hard enough to be away from our "grown" children. Prayers for the Moms & Dads at boot camp!!

I didn't think he was going to call, that's two weekends in a row but he did and I'm glad he spoke to his grandparents.

My daughter is S14/Div 141.....I have spoken to my SR twice and 2day I got a phone call this will be her last call till the week of grad. She advised me that they will be training and exercising and practicing for the Grad. She wants lots of letters to feel in touch. The BC is very hard for her, but our family was on speaker phone and told her to pray hold your head up because we will be praying also. She started crying and we tried to comfort as much as possible. We will be praying for her and all the SR's. they are all missing their families, but they are half way there.
