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."

I hope the division gets it together.  I got a letter from my son today. He said a lot of Rc not doing what they are suppose to and they keep threating to hold them back from Graduation. He said he has passed everything but worrie about battle station yet did not know a date.

His spirits were up and he seemed very determined to do whatever it takes to GRaduation.

He is looking forward to A school so I know he is settling in Hopefully they will be sailors soon.

It seems like the days are dragging maybe just because I hear things will be getting harder for them. Has your hubbby told you when their battlestation will be? I hope it not on my son's Birthday he will be turning 20 in there. That would be a B'day to remember for sure. Ha, Ha  Do you have any idea if their division has won any flags?

He going to for AECF. He had a delayed start because it took nine months for an opening and that was all he wanted to do.  Your RC is your husband? Doing you live there?
