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's fine. I got to talk to him this afternoon. He sounded great. Has met a couple of guys. One told him that this mom visited with her on N4M. They have inspection tomorrow and a written test Wed. Sam may have 2 wisdom teeth pulled Thurs.. One guy was on watch and missed the call opportunity. Sam felt bad for him. I hope they let him later. What is your son's name? I wish your son well also. What part of TX. are you from?

His name is Adam--I think there is another Adam in this div. I hesitate to say his last name, so tell Sam to ask for the Adam who played state basketball championship in Austin. I'm from Abilene area. I would love the tiniest bit of news!

Good mornin' bonniern, I went back over the last few days of 10/1/10PIR and it appears that 1 mom in 328 got a call but then not all the moms put their ship/division in their address. I have not received a call,"No news is good news" is my mantra, but I sure would like a letter. I have sent 2 letters and check the mail box 3-4 times daily. Before this is all over I will have worn a path in the concrete. If you are still thinking about driving up there, I am still interested. I can help with car/van rental, gas and anything else. I love a good road trip. BTW I drove to Maryland last year for Christmas, drove 14 hours one day, about 12 the next. Stops every 2-4 hours for gas and rest so I can do this drive easily. Let me know. P.S. I did not check Leavin' for Boot Camp in August about phone calls. Have a great day.
