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."

LTLY: Can you put the "points in Naval history" at the top of the page so they don't get lost in the posts? I would love to see this continue! How neat! You can post that one is up there to remind all to look at the top. Thanks for doing this! And the radio prank with the recruiter had me laughing until I cried! SO FUNNY! Well, once I realized that the hamster didn't really get squeezed.... :-)

Tiff'sMom: What addresses? I'm so sorry...sounds like it was one of those desperate times with lots of pressure. Just try to see it (hard, I know) as a time she will have to work through it on her own...and figure it out. They are forced to when contact is cut off, and it seems that contact is being cut off now. PRAY HARD! I know there was a girl in another PIR group that had this happen. She didn't like what they told her the new rate would be (she may have had the choice of 2 jobs, but seems that she was told that this job was the only one open to her). It was nothing like what she entered planning on doing. But she is in Meridian MS now training. So Tiff may be directed to something she doesn't think she will like, but then again...it may be a new opportunity for her! Please keep us posted.

@tiffsmom- why would they need addresses to give her a different job? Talk about leaving you hanging. Poor girl. Try to breathe and keep us posted.

Good News..... Bad News....
Good news, I got to talk to Tiffany :) Her job is too full at GL (She will be AECF then ET or FC at Great Lakes) so they are asking for her to chose another job. She called to get some addresses and I couldn't come up with any, I don't have any written down anywhere, so my son was home sick and he was trying to help too, but we couldn't find any. Got to talk to Tiff for about 15 mins but couldn't come up with any addresses. She went and told the man we couldn't get any and asked if she could pick a different job, all he told her was to "hang up and go sit down" so she told me that, she was choking up and had to say bye :( I have no idea how this is going to come out :( We couldn't help them and now she's scared.
Bad news.... shame shame on 327 and 328 boys and girls, they all got in trouble after phone calls on Tues/Mon?? whichever day they called. They have been getting in trouble she said and that they were suppossed to write more often but lost that and they were supposed to get a phone call this holiday weekend but said that they took that one away too :( I said, maybe they will be nice and let them have it back, we will see.
Tiffany said one of the girls moms on here talks to me and mentioned our dog, Abner, the labish dog... she said she thinks she is from Calif... but I do know the last name, it starts with a "L" if that's you... HEY!!!! hahaha

I have been digging deep for Navy stuff on playlist.com and stumbled across it. There are several more cadences but I am not comfortable putting some of them on here. Might be too much for some.
