OPSEC - Navy Operations Security

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."

Same here Maria. Haven't gotten a lot of info from Joe.Have gotten a couple of letters and no phone calls. He did tell me that he was grad & go, which makes me feel a little better about not being able to go to PIR. The last thing I want to do is make him feel like he has to choose between spending time with me or his father.

Couple weeks ago, they did their simulation and live firearms... my son did like it and got a sharp shooter ribbon. They also had a Military Drill Inspection and they scored 4.8 out of 5.0, so his division did very well. My son is a stick (flag holder) and a stand watch, so he get's up an hour early, losing a lot of sleep.
Last week, they had their photos taken. A lot of things happening. Can't wait to see him on PIR day. I hope your recruit/s is doing well. As far as I know, they are training really hard. God Bless and Happy Thanksgiving everyone! -

You are welcome Sailor's Girl! Congratulations in advance for your upcoming wedding... happy for you.
My son called twice today and it was great to hear his voice. They were adopted by the Church today, roughly 200 of them. They had lunch and dinner there. He said that they were enjoying their free time, and it was great for the church to let them call us and very thankful for them, and for feeding our recruits at the same time.
They just had their Gas Chamber this past Monday... and next Tuesday will be their BattleStations21. Good luck to all our Recruits and May God Bless them! In the meantime, I hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving. -
