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."

Got a call -- Div 029 -- 20 minutes or so. He sounded great and talked a lot. He is the MAIL PO, so is distributing and collecting mail. He told us mail comes in every day, but he only collects mail from the SRs on Sunday...He confirmed they are a push division and are learning their stuff quickly. Said the food is great, but not enough of it. He is also the trash guy, and says Chicago mornings are getting cold. Their pea coats aren't in yet, but they will get them soon...he said to keep on writing!
Hope everyone hears from their SR soon!

I received a call. He sounded great. He said that the phone cards we sent are a big hit and they need more. If everyone could send some that would be great, also encourage your SR to share the cards as some people may not have anyone sending them anything. Each card is good for 20 minutes and it's FREE!
1. Go to :
http://www.callsforrecruits.org/
2. Download and print the word doc
3. Email the link from the website, and they will reply with a set of pin codes
4. Write the pin codes on the cards, cut them out, and mail them to your SR
