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."

Every single question that is asked is important
Every single concern is genuine
Every single member is important to us
We don't want to accidentally overlook any of them or you.
Hang in there!!!

My son called today (twice) with security questions :) Oh how great it was to hear that sweet boys voice!!! He sounds happy. He was a roller coaster of emotions in the second call... But he said he is strong and feels good!

My recruit is from the great (little) state of CT. I've received 1 call and two letters.

We are from Iowa, very small town about 1 hour west of Davenport. I'm totally jealous that you all got 2 letters. I am really hoping for that phone call on Monday! What are your kids doing in 900 division? From my understanding Tess is doing something with flags and is the drum major.

I'm surprised that a phone call might come on Monday! I have been expecting a call on Sundays...not that we have gotten 1 yet... I thought his recruiter had mentioned Sundays as their day to get to call home. I am not sure what Chris is doing in 900 division?!?! Not sure how he even made this division. He hadn't been in band since Jr High School. He did mention being in charge of keeping Drill Hall clean though! ;-)
