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."

janiece, I'm with you. I will be there tomorrow when you get that call and rejoice with you. I'm so happy and it is driving me crazy also. That was the longest but shortest time I have been away from my daughter.

Just got off the phone with Cody!! He is a sailor! I think all but one in 166 passed. I am so happy to finally talk to him. He is calling his dad now. I didn't want to take all his time, but I think he didn't want me to feel bad by wanting to hang up, so I told him to be sure to call him before his time was up. We talked for over 30 minutes, his card ran out and one of the other recruits gave him their card. They are at the NEX, he was eating sour patch kids, just like when he was a kid. That seemed so sweet to me! he said he got to put on his Navy cap instead of the recruit cap. Such a big step. He said he didnt know their score yet, but he thinks they did well. congrats to all the new Sailors, good luck to 167/168 tonite!

My daughter called my aunt and said that she was giving everyone 15 minutes. So I will hear from her soon. YEA. I just have to be by the phone. That sucks, I have to use the restroom and I am afraid of missing her call. I'll wait.
Comment by Janiece M-Utah on April 20, 2010 at 3:56pm
Cathy....I'm so jealous that your house is spotless and you've packed & repacked!!!! This site has me so not focused on work and I don't even get a call till tomorrow. I've tried to write two simple letters and just barely finished the one. Oh my......I sure hope A school doesn't have all this anticipation or I will not make it!!!! I'll have to make a Dr. Appt. and beg for some sort of anixety drugs to help cope.

CONGRAT's to all those passed and your hard work & dedication~~~Most of all I want to thank all of you moms/wifes/GF's for your daily support and laughter oh and tears. Whoever said having kids was fun should come spend a few minutes with me right now! I could give you a big ear full.....
Well...TTFN and hugs to all of you. I have a letter to write.

Got my call....and I didn't have a client so I clocked out for break and talked to ben for half an hour.....he was tired....and everyone passed in 165....I'm still teary eyed
Comment by Oneofalot on April 20, 2010 at 3:44pm
Thanks Janiece. I know you guys would understand. Hopefully she will be able to reach me. I think she is talking to her aunt right now. Her line is busy. I'll take you up on that offer. Take my phone and walk outside. No more resurculated air from the office. ( Sorry for the spelling.)
Comment by Janiece M-Utah on April 20, 2010 at 3:37pm
Aw man....Jean, I can't believe your hubby missed her call! I'm SO, SO, sorry :) But the great news is she is now a sailor!!!! That's the most important thing. Chin up girl....take your phone with you and do a quick power walk around the house, office, down the street or something. You need a Chi Ball at the moment. I would be a total wreck ....I'm sick for you now and better go for a walk.
Hugs.....Hugs.....Hugs.....
Janiece :)
