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."

Has anyone got mail this week? I normally get it on Wednesday, but not this week. None today (Thursday) either. A few on the FB page are saying the same thing.

I did receive a letter from my SR today, he said that this week was what they called Hell week. His spirits are good and he is finding he is working very hard but enjoying it.

Hi Donna, I received a letter on Thursday too! He also mentioned that this was Hell Week, but seemed confident he would do well. It seems their division has been working hard and has really come together. I can't believe PIR is 3 weeks from today!

Just received a letter from our SR! If anyone has a SR in division 159 just know they are doing amazing! They have earned all their flags so far! I was also told that they have really pulled together as a division and that the RDC's are a bit easier on them now! Very happy and blessed to hear from him! I hope everyone gets a chance to hear from their SR's! He also mentioned that their division might get a chance to call anytime from now until next week so keep your phones close! I hope everyone has a blessed day!

I'm anxious for battle stations this week. I hope to talk to my son. I haven't spoken with him since March 15th. It's getting sooo hard. My stomach hurts because I'm sooo anxious and not sleeping great either. How are other people doing?

Steph Pete's Mom- I understand what you're going through! I'm feeling the same. I have my phone with me at ALL times and I panic when it's not on me! I don't want to miss a call. I haven't heard his voice in a month! Sometimes I forget what he sounds like. But I'm very excited for PIR! Just think positive and take this week to properly prepare! I used my free time to pack all essentials and I made sure to print the parking pass to get on base! We're almost there, just 9 more days! Very proud of our SR's!!!
