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'm just wondering who the N4Ms are who have SRs in this Division. Hopefully we will be getting mail/calls and can share the information.

Hey Div 215 friends -- finally on a computer! It was so exciting to get the call, but he sounded tired! He didn't know when he was flying out to Pensacola-- hoping will find out before PIR which is in LESS THAN 3 DAYS! YES I'm SHOUTING! Congrats to all Div. 215 loved ones -- they did it!

When I spoke to my sailor he sounded really tired and he had said that they`ve been up since Sunday. He said that they got to go order food (Dominoes) .l0l He had to get off the phone to go buy deoderant and all that. Oh and he also said that his second RDC had told him that he couldn`t get a cellphone during liberty or have a cellphone while they are in A School for the first 2 weeks. I thought I would be able to to hear from him right away when he gets in to A School. He said that if and when the sailors wanted to make a call they would have to walk to a payphone and make that call. This is all hard to have to deal with on my side being that I got my hopes up about that. Oh well I`ve got to get through his PIR and LIBERTYfirst before I start crying about it.l0l God Bless.

Deejay I had heard that they may have to lock the phones and computers up for awhile, but 2 weeks is nothing compared to the 8 we just went through. The whole time I only got one 2 minute call and the one today. I guess I will still be writing letters! I didn't hear about the food. Have a good evening!

I wrote that in my last letter to him. I know that it won`t be compared to the past 8 weeks we`ve gone without being able to to talk to them on the phone. I`m still writing letters to him even when I said I`d stop last week.l0l I`ve gotta start getting used to not writing anymore letters. I guess until after those 2 weeks are up I`ll think about not writing anymore.hehe Well 1 more day until the BIG DAY! ^_^ It`s finally here and it feels like it went by fast. I can`t wait to be able to see him as a SAILOR! It still hasn`t hit me that I`m going to see him soon. I`m so excited for the many of the families who now have a NEW SAILOR! Safe travels to those heading over there. God Bless
