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."

HI ! YES I got my call yesterday while shopping in Walmart. lol It was the longest phone call I ever had with her. She said she isn't feeling to well and she had a fever a couple nights ago but won't go to the medic for fear she will fall behind. So the tough cookie that she is she said she will suck it up and move on. She had no idea when battlestation was nor will they give them any information about it. I filled her in on all the knowledge I and my husband had about it, so now she is informed on what to expect.

So what did your SR say? I am so excited to see her in uniform for the first time and to see how much she has changed. I can't wait to hold her.

She did tell me that she will be attending A school right there at lakes after PIR. She will be there for about 5 months then she will get her two week liberty. At first I was a little down about that but then I thought about the time frame and it actually will work out better having her come home during the summer when the weather is nice and there is more to do.

Can't wait to hear from you. I haven't found many moms here from our ship and division.

So nice to here back from you.Hope that you and your family had a Happy New Year!! It's nice to hear from someone in the same boat as me (no pun intended).Thanks for the link I will denfinitely check it out.My son seems to be doing well.He told me that the RDC calls him Georgia because of his southern accent (LOL).I sent pics recently and he received them without problems.I went to the Walmart and made three collages of a whole bunch of pics from home, that way he had a lot to look at but only 3 pages to keep up with,he said that worked out really well. I'm still trying to decide on where to stay,do you know if the Navy Lodge has a shuttle to the base for grad I was told that was the way to go when going on base.I'm kinda leery about getting a rental car because coming from Georgia we have no snow driving skills, LOL. But what ever we do,I guess we better start making some decisions soon,because our boys are getting close to graduation.Can't wait to hug him again!!(Iknow you feel the same way about your sailor).Well can't wait to here from you again.Have A great week!
