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."

Letter in the mail today. YEAH!!! Dated the 14th. Wants to know how his favorite sports teams are doing. Says the days are going by quicker and quicker. As of this letter he is a stick. Said he did horrible at drill but so did other flag holders. He sent back 2 questionnaires I had sent him. I owe mailman .17. Figures. He wishes people would figure out they have a short amount of time left and would work as a team. Has a friend from NY, one from California, his bunkmate from Arizona and a few from Texas. Didn't mention any names or initials. Says he can't wait to see me on the 1st. I think today is w5d5 as he says August 31 was w3d1 for the division. Hope everyone has a great evening.

I don't even really remember when div 821 got a call, but it has been a long, dry spell. A call this weekend from my SR would be great. So happy for everyone that did get the call.
@Reenie-sorry you haven't heard from your daughter even though it seems the rest of the division got to make calls. Keep the faith, maybe she will get to make a call later in the day.
