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."

Hi Rebecca and CherylAnn! It's so good to have you both on here! I'm really looking forward to keeping up to date on our SRs together!!! For some reason, I'm thinking that last Thursday was DOT 1-1 for them. I wrote my SR and asked him to date his letters to me with the DOT along with calendar date so we'll see.
Anyway! I'm on lunch here at work so I thought I'd stop by and say hi!!! I'll log back on this evening and check in with everyone!

Hi all. I missed my second call from my son today. He called last Saturday too and I missed it. Both times I was at work, and had my phone on....but did not hear the call. I also had it in my bra on vibrate. I didn't hear it or feel it. I missed his call by only 4 minutes. I left work at 5:30 and he called at 5:26. I was so upset, I cried and cried. He did leave a message and caledl his sister, so I got an update. He gets his wisdom teeth out on Wednesday. He also said he may not get to call again until after battlestations. Does that sound right?
Anyway, I wrote him another letter and told him how proud I am of him...and how sorry I am to have missed his call. Hopefully I will get to talk to him soon.

Oh cherylann, I'm so sorry you missed the calls. At least you have his message you can listen to over and over again. Hoping all goes well with his wisdom teeth! Keep your head up and hopefully they'll get one last call next Saturday!

You guys all keep getting a second call. I have not gotten the second call. Maybe my son getting wisdom teeth out now or something. I hate that he didn't call. Surely he would if they could but then ya never know I guess. I am just sad that he hasn't called again when everyone else seems to be getting calls. Anyone staying at the Ramada and going to the meet and greet there for PIR?
