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."

Has anyone had any phone calls in this group? It seems like it has been forever since my daughter got a real call and not just needing clearance info.

No phone call:( Did get a letter though and it was very good. He said their DIV was really coming together as a team. He also got his Marksman metal on the first try and said that has been his favorite part so far. Kept saying how much he loves us and misses us.....ugh I feel a cry coming on:'''((((

I got the longest letter yet! I cried half way through it. He told me how great the div is doing and they are in second place. In every letter he has told me that he is sick with a cold. Is anyone's recruit sick too? He tells me that his ship is so cold with no heat. He told me though that it is almost over and it is'nt anything that he can't handle.

Thats awesome Red! We are so close to PIR! :) Did your hubby mention anything about the BS21 date? I know someone confirmed 354 is going on Tuesday so I'm just assuming we go that day too.
