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."

We made our reservations at the Navy lodge as well. I got 2- two page letters and they are so well written and articulate! I can honestly say, even after years at overnight camp, this is the very first letter I received from my son. I read them over and over. He wrote that they had snow flurries on 9/23 and the reactions from the guys who've never seen snow before was hysterical.

Ha beyond excited.......Holding my breath waiting for the "I'm a sailor" call. Did anyone see their SR on the 900 group face book page? I searched for my daughter but didn't catch a glimpse, maybe this friday!

I am, too! I didn't see my son, either. I'm hoping I will be able to see him in the photos this coming Friday.

apparently each 900 division performs at the graduations 2 weeks prior to there graduation. So i actually got to see a picture of Tessa at last weeks graduation, granted it was a picture of her behind, haha, but I would recognize that girls behind anywhere! It's fun to run through the pictures looking for your SR!
