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."

Got my letter today. My SR was very sick last week and had pink eye but is doing better. Says the division flag is Darth Vader. Keep a look out for it on any random pictures on RTC this week. I can not believe that a few short weeks ago we were all so upset with them leaving now we are almost there.

Glad to hear your SR is doing better-I love that their flag is Darth Vader-the men in my household are big Star Wars fans!! We are getting so close now!!!

I know - both my boys are super Star Wars fans also. They are mortified that their father has never seen even the original movie.

Ladies, I am sorry to hear that anyone's SR has been sick. I hope they all get back to feeling well soon. Not a good time to be sick with Battlestations around the corner. My SR tends not to tell me to many things about testing and the such. He seems pretty nervous, thinks talking about it will bring him bad luck. (At least that is what I am guessing.) He has never failed at anything before, why start now? Maine Mom, I hope you get to hear from your son on his birthday! Good Luck on Trivia Tuesday! My son is Corpman and I believe he will be off to San Antonio after graduation. I will be watching for Darth Vader. Have a wonderful night and I hope you all hear from your SR's. Since they can write more often now. I did receive my letter today. Of all the things he could have told me, this is what he chose...."We have had 3 tornado warnings and they don't call it the windy city for nothing". I will keep you and your families in my thoughts and prayers.....18 more days :-)
