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."

As I read thru the posts, I am so thankful to have been a part of this family! What a blessing to know that people all over the country are praying for our recruits! Makes me teary! Which I keep doing again, just like when he first left!
I keep jumping every time the phone rings! Sure hope they went thru last night, and not tonight! I don't want to do this twice! I will keep the candles burning and the prayers lifted for everyone!

Calling on my folks in 356...there is a mom who can't go to PIR and she wants someone to hug and congradulate her son...who is willing to step up to the plate and take a sign and ask their recruit in that division to help them find that young sailor...I know there is someone....you are good people...
