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."

It seems like the people that received calls yesterday, they were after 8 pm (at least that is when they started posting about the calls)... we still have hope!

Hello Margaret. In my daughter's last letter she said 364's Battle Stations is on the 12th. She also told me that the "gas chamber" is on the 7th and damage control is the whole week before graduation. In case you were wondering, she also told me that no one in 364 is grad and go.
Take care...

Hello all,
I just got a call from my daughter and she sounded so good. She had so much to tell me since this is the first time we have actually got to talk(I missed the last call because I was in class, who made those rules of no cell phones in class!!!). She said they have many things to do yet this week before graduation. She is sad though because we were told that she was a grad n go in the beginning, and now she has liberty until Sunday evening. Her dad can only stay until Saturday am, and since I am going south to her twin brothers graduation I won't be there at all. It is breaking my heart!!!! WE are keeping all of them in our prayers this week as well as all the families who will be traveling to the graduation. -
