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."

Kyann - I forwarded you the email to the new address you sent me, so hopefully you will have it now. I highlighted the dates, etc.
Katie is headed to the USS George HW Bush (CVN 77). Just found out that (no surprise), she was told she would need to re-enlist for 4 in order to do so or stay on the BHR until her original enlistment was up Oct 2013.

I got the email from the ombudsman for the Tiger cruise. I guess I should email that my son is no longer on the ship.
Kyann, the date is at the bottom of the email.

Kyann - I thought I had your email address so that I could forward all the information to you. Private messgae me your email if you didn't receive what I sent earlier today. Hunter should arrange a female sponsor for you. When we went in 2010 Katie just had one of her friends show Thomas to his berthing and then he made friends with AO1's son and was pretty comfortable going around the ship and meeting up with Katie and I.

I received it from the ombudsman. I will need to find a female Sailor for that purpose, too, Jane. Thanks.
Marianne, my letter didn't have dates, just said in late June. ??
I know I have to get that application filled out soon. Should I send it to hunter and have him turn it in for us? Praying it all works out.

Kyann - Did you get the information from your sponsor or the ombudsman? I rec'd an email from the latter that has the invitation letter, forms, medical information, dates, information on bus, when you need to report to the ship, etc...
