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 know Battle Stations have started. If anyone hears from SR it will probably be Mon or Tues, please ask about the whole division to see if they all made it. Some may not be able to call due to duties. Wish our group had gone first, then our wait would be over. Hanging in there and hoping all make it through this final test.
thanks
Deb

So glad to hear I am not the only one who hasn't gotten the "I'm a sailor" phone call yet. I was really starting to get nervous. I will have my phone glued to me the next few days.

Heard from son, he is a sailor! Very tired and sounded just done under. He did say that not all the division passed but he wasnt about to tell me anymore. He only had a couple minutes. We are looking forward to seeing him on Friday.
