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."

Hello! Mine is in 374! Can't wait to meet my new Navy "family"! Got the first letter yesterday, it was awesome!

My gosh - that letter couldn't mean more if it contained a billion dollars, could it?!?! I was beside myself with excitement, as I'm sure we all were.

Our letter from SR stated that he is the RPO (religious petty officer) for DIV 374 and prays every evening after Taps (lights out) ! Ecstatic to know his heart to care and pray for his fellow SR's!
I'll be praying for all you moms as we go through this journey together. God bless!

Doing a whole lot better than I was 2 weeks ago! Still have my moments, but don't we all! How are you doing. What your SR's rate?

Rate=job. No worries, you will pick up the lingo quickly. But there's always something to learn. And I sent you a friend request. Lots of tears, very normal....I watched PIR (graduation) this morning and cried; didn't even know any of those sailors!
