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."

Division 80 just posted they received a call. According to group PIR 2-18, they come in divisions, starting today with 79, going through 82...so, if they are correct, ours should start coming around 5pm eastern time. Will be interesting to see if that is correct.

Made it home from work. I don't see any posts, so I am pretty confident that the calls have not started.

I had a hard time sleeping last night also. I am home from work today- phone signals are LOUSY and very unpredictable at school and since I am NOT going to miss this call the only choice was to take the day off. I beginning to think I should have gone in 1/2 day. Then at least I might think of something else. At least for a little while!!!!

My husband grew agrivated with me last night..a lot of up and down, tossing, and turning. I was up at 3:10am, back to bed at 3:30, to just lay there and wonder, worry, and think.
I can't get home soon enough today. Desperately seeking a phone call!!

I actually stayed at school until 10:45 tonight. I needed to get ready for the substitute tomorrow and just needed to keep busy. Did a WHOLE lot of cleaning (but still didn't find the unit folder that has been missing all week...) and feel good about the way I left my room. I should be exhausted- got there at 6:30 this morning. Kind of crazy, I was at school for over 16 hours today. The thing is, that I know that that isn't anything compared to what our kids are going through tonight. I doubt I'll sleep much. Then I'll bring his brothers to school in the morning and WAIT FOR MY PHONE CALL!!!!
Ladies, tonight is the change of life for our kids. The caterpillars have encased themselves in their crysalis' and tomorrow morning will emerge as a butterfly! This is life changing for them. Their efforts are in cash-in mode!!!
GO DIV 082!! We all believe in you!

Prayer said, candle lit....GO OUR SAILORS!!! I'm so worried I will miss the call tomorrow! I work 1 Friday a month until noon....and this is the one! I already asked/warned doctor that my cell phone will be on tomorrow awaiting the important call. He was very understanding and agreed. I work for the best boss! He got on youtube today and watched Battlestations as well as the PIR. It is nice to have my family at work rooting for our sailors and supporting us!!!
