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."

Did any one receive a call this weekend? Was hoping for a call on Sunday :( Would really like to hear from my SR to know all is going well. Have seen her in a few pictures and that I'm thankful for but aching to hear her voice.

I booked the Marriot Courtyard. Wish we had any news on whether 28th/Memorial Day would be a holiday and delay some of the recruits travel plans. Would be nice for extra time! Hoping for a letter today:)

Hello all! Still no letter for me either - oh dear, i hope they're not working them too hard or they're not getting in any trouble. I do miss my daughter terribly! Let's continue to pray for our SRs that they don't have such a hard time @ BC. TTY all soon!

Finally received my first letter today from my daughter. I was so excited! Still no word though as to whether or not she is going to fly out to her A school in Pensacola on Saturday or if we're going to get more time with her. I wish we had some idea so we knew how long we could stay in Chicago.

I'm in Michigan. I think Sunday was the first time they had to write and I don't think they had a lot of time to do it. Praying you get something soon. And happy birthday!!
