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."

Hello everyone! I see that everyone got calls today. I missed mine. (sigh) I don't know if they get another chance to call back or not, I have my fingers crossed. Sticking close to the phone now. I am happy for all of you! I know how much it must have meant to you all!
My daughter and I are staying at the Courtyard Marriott for the PIR. Its about 10 mins from base. What is everyone thinking for Thanks giving? We won't have any details till we get there, right? I will be checking out places to eat in the area. Do we know if they are free all day for Thanksgiving? And we won't know if they fly out Fri or Sat for awhile, right? My son is going to Pensacola.

My son is also going to P'cola after PIR. It is really cool for my son because that is close to where all of our family live...45 mins away in Mobile, AL. P'cola is a great city.

hello - my boy is 03/021. Got his calls today. Cannot wait to get up there (in TX now) for PIR on 11/27. He said he thinks he gets the 28th off. I sure hope so. Don't know what we'll do, but I'm sure we'll figure it out. Best Thanksgiving EVER!

Loved getting the phone call from my SR yesterday. Not having fun, but he's handling it well. He told me that PT has been comparable to gym class so far and that he did the swim the day before. Does anyone have other details of what they've been up to the last couple of weeks?

Our SR (Ship 03, Div 021) letter (dated 10/13) came to day! =D
He said they walk 20 miles per week weighed down. No mention of blisters. He probably doesn't want me to worry. He passed his swimming class and said it was "cool". He also says the food is decent but wishes there were more than 3 meals per day. He is so used to eating all of the time. Their first "real knowledge test and inspection" is this week. He also says that the yelling doesn't get to anyone anymore. =)

Thank you for sharing vivian! So glad the yelling isn't getting to anyone anymore! Can't wait to hear how their inspections and tests go. If I get a letter or call I will definitely share. Thanks again!

Awesome! I love this!
They all tell us something different in their letters! Sharing between all of us, we are really getting a better picture of what is going on!
I hope these boys know we are the best moms ever! XD
And they wondered how we knew the things we knew when they were being sneaky.... lol!
