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."

My boyfriend is one of these men! He hasn't bought a cell phone yet, so I don't know anything, but I am almost sure he told me he's leaving Wednesday for Pensicola. How are you ladies doing?

My son arrived in Pcola at 1:30 on tues. but couldn't go to base because president was speaking there. He called again at 10:00 pm and said they were in a holding barracks, until they get them roomed up. Also said he was a part of the human flag on Monday at the RTC in GL. Nice to meet some new ladies of new Sailors! Bren

Recieved a voicemail last night he left the add and also asked that I overnight his cell phone to him, no word today but hopefully will hear from him soon!!! He said the school has people that have been waiting for 3 months to get in... so it may be up to 3 months before he even starts his schooling. Cannot say that I was particularly excited to recieve that news. Well I hope that you all get to hear from your loved ones soon!!

Oh no, that's terrible! I can't believe that! He already gave you an address??

My boyfriend called yesterday and called from an airport telephone, but I hope we can update one another on here, because I haven't heard anything really. Hope all of you are doing well! Oh, Brenda, here is a picture for you!
