OPSEC - Navy Operations Security

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."

Praying for baby Parker to make his appearance and for the rest of us to get calls.
Got letters from my boys today. One is having a stamp famine, sent me his last stamp on my letter and asked for more stamps, not sure when he can go to NEX again. Luckily I sent some SASE late last week. Selfish of me, but at least I know I will get mail! I had sent those envelopes so that he could send home his old mail. At that same time, he was mailing me his old mail with the stamps he had, at least we are thinking alike. The boys sound great. They are ready for dessert - one for sure wants ice cream. I have to find a place with ice cream so I can buy on Thursday and put it in the freezer in my room. We are G&G and I will get to spend a few hours Friday with them before they go.

946's CONGRATULATIONS!! So glad you got phone calls and maybe more to come. Your div has been gone an extra week as I understand it. They must be doing great to earn those calls.

Thanks for the info Jessica B. I had seen the OPSEC stuff before, but I am grateful for the reminder. As for the facebook stuff, I disabled that on my kids computers the day it came out.

when is div 324 ship 13 doing battle stations?
-

@sailorwife- 946 allready had pics, and ordered whichever packet they wanted. You can pay for them at PIR in the NEX, or perhaps call the NEX and pay over the phone? Not sure about that last one. Also you can send your SR a check, ask him tomorrow how much and who to make it out to. My SR said the checks are payable to NEX...but I would confirm that with your SR first.

@Dianne- I got two calls!! And he couldn't 100% confirm or deny the dates for BS21. Maybe we will have a better idea tomorrow, they are saying they should call at 1700.

Smiling from ear to ear after the phone call from my son. It seems as though a bunch of them are sick but still moving forward. No word on the BS21. I asked my son today so hopefully he will find out more before tomorrows call.
Praying for you Liz.
