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."

hello marmayes, i know what you mean...anxious!!! have you or anyone else noticed (and maybe this was in a general discussion i missed) that BC is 7 weeks? i thought it was 'set in stone' that BC is 8 weeks. i hope you hear from your son very soon.

Yes, Shelby and I were just discussing that last night. I thought week one was just P days and didn't count toward the 8 week BC. Oh well - one week sooner is good for me!!!

Wishing ALL of us letters either today or tomorrow............. -

No letter here either. boo hoo. I'm with you on the smiley or frowny face. lol I have seen some of the other women say they haven't gotten their form letter either. Sounds like some just take longer to get out than other. I'll keep my fingers crossed you get your soon. :)
