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."

I am pretty sure that it is around December 17th through Jan. 2 or so...from what I am understanding, the guys have to use their leave they have accumulated or "pay it back." I will try and get more information on this from my LO...

My LO was in H with injury and illness for 8 weeks. It was not easy to watch everyone in your original class progress through training but sticking with it was definitely worth it. Graduating and moving on is even sweeter to those who have challenges and many who have had to persevere learn a lot about themselves and leadership along the way. Congratulations to you and your LO and best wishes as he continues his training. There are many, many of us who have been where you are and are now out in the fleet and we wish you all the best!

Also, I will post this in the facebook group just in case some people on facebook do not read this. -

I dropped of my boyfriend today in Newport. It was really hard. We have spent every day together for the past couple of months so it is going to be really tough for me. He is excited and I know he will do fantastic and enjoy most of OCS. Saying goodbye this morning was one of the hardest things I have ever done. I just cannot wait until I hear from him.I hope its soon.
