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."

priscilla- yup. thats the one that C brought to BC! and i guess they are allowed to have/keep their debit card w them, 'cause when C left he brought his wallet w him and some of his cards were there. its just they arent able to use it. just the $25 cash that they have on hand.
haha same here, i am really getting impatient! havent got my 2nd batch of letters yet! how's the planning to move w ur hubby while he's in a-school?

I am still waiting for a call and a letter. My son still has not written. I have sent several cards and letters. I sent a phone card today because he only took a limited amount of money with him. I am getting so impatient. Has anyone gotten calls from Ship 03 Div 025?

I changed my profile pic and wanted to let you all know so you would recognize me. Hard to miss with the new pic lol. I figured it was time to take down the pic with my sailor since she is almost finished with c-school. I hope everyone is having a good day. :-)
