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."

Afternoon ladies, so glad it is Friday. We have been lucky enough to have had 4 phone calls because of security information, so I shouldn't be evnious of all the letters you all have received. It is had though. I also carry around the official letter, just to see her writing and am waiting with great patience for the return of the question pages she is sending hom.
I also have a request. My family also is in need of an extra seat at PIR and I have seen few girls in my daughters div 005. I know that there will be fewer divs but it is always nice to be sure of a seat. Thank you ladies.

Hi kimbokatbo, if you friend me then pm me your email address I will send you the 3 I have. Very adaptable for your recruit. They can be fun to get back and makes it easier on the recruit, they don't have to write as much and saves a lot of time.

JulieR ~ I am excited for you! I think I will get out of this slump when I get a letter. I called my daughter. She did not get a letter either. Fridays are always good...I am hoping : ) ~ kk
Since I knew about the button sewing before my son left, I want to do a two version lesson. I was denied again (just like the ironing). I guess those sewing projects he tackled on his own over the years paid off. We also read about the lack of privacy. Did she mention the material content of the granny panties? I think the guys are wearing "tighty whiteys." I did not ask ~ but I bet he misses his 100% cotton knit longer leg Jockeys! ~kk

JulieR ~ You know I will!
pcslygh ~ It will be great for him. He is a warm weather & water guy! He spent a lot of time on Lake Erie. He has a cousin in college near Pensacola too. Also friends farther south. He will enjoy the winter in Florida. ~ kk

JulieR ~ Of course you can play the car game! We just will not look for you until we get into the city! lol You are so fortunate to be able to have your daughter close for "A" school. We will have to fly to Pensacola for many months!
Northern Ohio, Western Pa, and Upstate NY have been my stomping grounds. ~ kk

Hello! My Name is Tiffany. Momrat in my mother-in-law (hey momma!!!) My husband is ship007 div 004! Still no letter yet, only a 5 min phone call for information. I asked how he was and he said he was "crappy" I'm sure he will be alright but its a lot to get used to.
