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."

Got a letter today ladies!!!! It was dated October 18 - Week 4 Day 1. It was "hell week" with lots of inspections, Marlinspike and Live Fire on Thursday. He said he was going for the "expert ribbon". He didn't have news on when BS21 is yet, maybe soon.
He said to make sure we sit on the second floor in the balcony. Apparently after the Honor Guard performs they get to sit with their families as long as they are on the 2nd floor.....
And BEST of all - he said the RDC's told them their Division Flag is the BEST they've seen for 10 Divisions.
HOOYAH 952!!!! -

Thanks Diana!! I knew they had practiced on the Marlinspike, but I didn't know the gas chamber is this Friday. I might light a candle for that too. So glad to know they are working as a team. Reading some of the stories makes me worry, but hearing from someone else that they are doing well just makes me feel so relieved!! HOOYAH on the flag too!!!

Thanks for all the info ladies. I have not heard from my son in a while. I guess he is being kept busy with all the tests and inspections. Glad to hear the BS21 is early in the week. They maybe will not be so tired for PIR. Can't wait to see him. His GF says he has gained a little weight and is building muscle.

My son Nick is in Div 952 Ship 02. I have not heard from him in a while. My neice got a letter from him yesterday said he had been sick and might not grad on time. Should I get a phone call telling me that or how can I find out for sure?

Diania just heard some one say previous dates were.... So maybe this is not for sure. One of us needs to get the information from our son or husband in DIV 952 written in letter. Maybe a letter Friday. Wow we only have 15 days to go!!!!!

I'm glad you found the site as well! What is your son going to be doing after GL and do you know where he will be going for school? My son is CTR and will be going to Pensacola.....

As far as I know he will be staying in GL for MM school and then on to Sub school. But like I said he has not said much.
