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."

Susan, hmmm about the BS. We were asking everyone to put the start date on there, so then we will know to expect the call the next day. Hopefully that's what it is. We haven't had many recruits tell us when they start, so we really don't know yet. I think once we get at least 2 or 3 recruits tell us the dates, then we can be certain of the date. Sorry, I know that didn't help very much :(

Betsy - Yes she does and usually everything that he writes we already know because he tells us over the phone.
I just went to the BS discussion and I saw that Div 22 is scheduled for 12/13. Does that mean it will start at midnight on the 13th so I should expect a call that day or does it mean it will start Monday night and I will get a call on 12/14? I have a work Christmas party the evening of the 13th and I want to make sure I keep an eye on my phone. I would hate to miss that call! Susan

In case you haven't rented a car for your trip yet, I went onto Travelocity today and the cost for a rental car was $18 less a day than it was yesterday. :) Yesterday, for the same car, they wanted $47 a day, today it was only $25 a day.

Thanks, Susan. It was a pretty short letter this time, I guess he was tired. :(
I hope his gf shares the letters with you?

Betsy - Glad he is still alive :( I feel sorry for them. 5 hours is a loooooong time.

I have only gotten 2 letters!! His girlfriend has gotten tons. I have gotten all but 1 of the phone calls though. I guess I shouldn't complain...I hope we find out something about Battlestations soon! Can't believe that in exactly 2 weeks from tonight I will be half-way to GL!

I got a letter today but no scoop! Nothing about Battlestations - anyone else from 024 hear a date for our DIV's BS21?

Low 30's but feels like its in the teens! Light snow across Michigan but not a lot of accumulation. Our southern SR's may be experiencing their first snow! Its beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

I didn't get a letter today. I was so hoping. I am getting more and more anxious about the days. I want them to fly by and it seems like some minutes drag by and then others fly. I will be nuts O by December 16th.
