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."

DefianceMom: Since the PAO said to expect a call tonight, that sounds like good news. I have a feeling that tomorrow is YOUR DAY! Glad you are checking FB too...because you may spot him on there before the call comes...

diannep - I will certainly post when I have some news. I am still here monitoring my phone, Facebook and N4M, trying to see if the calls are done or if there is still a chance for tonight. I am just so disappointed because I was told by PAO to expect a call tonight. I can't imagine what has happened now. Thanks for your concern.

DefianceMom: Hoping that your son was one of the 5 who went through last night. I know you can't wait for that call. If for some reason he didn't go last night, he's probably going tonight. Please post when you hear from him!
Congrats to all of the NEW US NAVY SAILORS from Divs 161-164!

Wheeewww! I think it's safe to say that 165, 166, 809 and 925 go tonight! Let's hope! Fingers crossed that they all go on the same night!
