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."

Jennifier - you haven't received the box yet? Ours came FedEx (if that info helps). But we've only received the box and the form letter. One phone call from him to my husband needing more info for security/background check because he will be an IT/ATF.

Are there any Mom's (or spouses) of future sailors in ship 13 div. 195 or 196 that will be a RP?
(Religious Program Specialist- Chaplain's bodyguard and right hand man).
I'm wondering if they try to group them together by rate when able.

Glad I'm not the only Mom that's crazy glued to the phone, lol! I'm sleeping with it, too! And yesterday when it rang while I was working out at Curves I jumped off the machine and sprinted over to my phone so fast that I'm sure I scared some of the ladies there, lol!! Unfortunately it was a false alarm, not him :-/

My SR called today needing more information. I was over the moon just to listen to him talk it brought back memories of when he was a kid (first day of school) and him telling what the teacher said he needed. I tried to gauge his emotional level and after listening to his instructions I am pleased to say I think I am stressing more then him. I am still smiling because he sounds fine. I am hoping he needs more stuff so he can call again.
