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."

Better things await those who persevere !

My daughter called her boyfriend today. She told him that they could call three times total. Line of phones in a room and a line waiting. He said they talked for 30 minutes. Form letter came Tuesday, she said that she could send it after she caught up, she had been sick. She is feeling better.

Hello everyone--my name is Kay and I live just outside San Antonio. I am happy to find this group since our sons/daughter's/spouses are all in the same Division. I haven't heard from my son Cody yet, but am anxiously awaiting a first letter or phone call. I heard they can write letters on Sunday, so maybe later this week I'll hear something. I was interested to see that there are also women in this division. My son's girlfriend Alicia shipped out about a week after he did, so they are there at the same time.
I have my plane reservations and hotel reservations at the Navy Lodge. Tick tock tick tock, right?? -
