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."

Yeah!!! Just got off the phone with my Halie. She said she is a sailor! She sounds really excited and really tired. She said BS was cool. Poor thing has watch tonight before she can go to bed. She does'nt want to fall asleep standing up. Halie said they are keeping busy today so they don't fall asleep. When we were hanging up she was excited because they were allowed to by a candy bar and soda! Congradulations to everyone!

he called me back!! im so excited he's a sailor!!!!! sounded so tired. we talked for about 15mins. then we got off so he could call his mom. im so glad he called and i wasnt in class. he said they'll be up for about another 6hrs, before he will be able to get some rest. but he said hes the more awake then everyone else in his div, that he keeps on having to hit everyone to stay up. he said he cried a little bit, just a few tears, but everyone was crying. He said his voice was gone from all the shouting... poor babies, theyve been through a lot. Im SO EXCITED right now. only one more week!

mhill, Just read the post about graduation and the tears are flowing. I can't wait. Thanks for sharing it. I too copied and pasted it to my family.
I'm useless today! I have many things I should be doing, but I can't concentrate! I Hope the calls start coming soon.

Hi mhill. From what I've figured out it starts In the evening around 8ish and lasts through the whole night. 12 hours or a little longer.
