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."

Thank you I don't think my son cares about the pay he can earn that further down the road. I hope all Div make it and no one stays behind they all have worked so hard for it! I just really heard the devestation in my sons voice, that did me in! I have not and can't stop praying for him and I know he feels he failed but he just needs to redo it, so he can keep going forward. I just wish I would have spoke with him today to encourage him, I am not sure if the team will help him but this is on him..... He has to do it, and everyone else will need each other in BS. I hope he makes it I can't handle another week I really can't!

He knows Ben????? Sh%#, I've been out, better check my cell phone IF I can find it!!! Ben's been promoted to E3 too- I'm so, so, so happy that you got a call from Tony!
I noticed you're staying at the Res. Inn too. Are there really 12 of you? Sweet Jesus that will be quite the drive! I doubt we'll be going to M&G 'cause we get to Ohare at 5:30 and will prob. just go get settled. I'm traveling with Ben's gf and his dad (my ex) is coming in separately though we're sharing the suite (awkward).
Anyway- if you see me at the hotel then flag me down! I look just like my photo (oddly enough) only without the dog. Do you have a photo of yourself so I can recognize you? The jury's still out over the pink scarf and me- I mean this is rural Maine, I practically have to drive half an hour to find toothpaste! I'll see what I can do.
I have to walk the pup- watch- that will be when he calls. -

OH!! I can bring a pink scarf for you to wear if you want! I will look for you--I wish I knew what room we are in--yep 12 of us making the trek!
recent pics of me, sure--let me send you my facebook page!
yeah he asked if Ben's last name is Clark and I said yeah I think so! -

The gf got the call- not me. I'm feeling rather slighted, but I'm not surprised. They've been together 5 years and were living together for the past year- they're very close...but still. I guess it's all part of the letting-go stuff that we're all facing, and it's healthy for them. They're not our babies any longer. She said he's doing great- she didn't say anything about him being E3, so I may be wrong- he may actually still be E2 (?), I don't know. Happy weekend!
