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."

Good Morning Parents. Today is letter day, I hope.

Josh sent his Itinerary to his home email and the sheduling email. I got it a second time, and he had tried to email his supervisor, but the travel agency had the wrong email address. The scheduling office is not getting the emails to the recruits correct supervisor.
So Josh had to call hom, to get me to send it again to his supervisor, from my home email address.
This traveling thing has been a complete nightmare for all of us. (Exept for you Jamie :) I wish I could drive home too).

Josh said in his later letter home he has to wear two shirts, two jackets, gloves, scarf and beane to go outside.

Dana F. my son is in 039 and he said battlestations is on the 19th.

Jamie, the email I got from the travel agency on base and it says it's Sabre Travel Consultants, but no phone number. Had I know they had to use a travel agency, I would have made the arrangement myself CHEAPER. I think they are taking advantage of the boys/girls because they don't know better and they are so stressed out by all of this. They are never give the correct info, as Josh had to call three times to get home and to school.

Woo Hoo, only one grad division ahead of us now. YIPEE!!!
-
-
Lori F, my flight comes in at 6 too :)
Dawn, if Joseph is in Div 039, they were there yesterday, because my son called from there.

Karla, be sure his grandparents are on the list to attend. Your child has to list them on the grad packet.

Jamie, this one is better:

My son Josh told me that I had to book his flight home before 12/08 because he didn't have any money is his account. And that he would book his flight to A school there (at BC) and they will deduct it from his next check.
I just checked his Navy Federal Account and he did get paid on the 28th. It should be on the 1st and 15th.
