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."

RysMom, I have an extra pink scarf if you want to wear it. It's not as warm as the one I am planning to wear, but is super cute. It's pink and white. Either way, let me know so I can pack accordingly.

What is the exact FB name. I tried looking it up about 1mth ago and could not find it. As my son would say, mom you are so BAD on a computer. In addition...lets all say a prayer for each recruit in our Divison and hope they all pass on the first try! I am soo excited to see my son and to meet all of you. I feel like I am 6yrs old and Christmas is coming...

Yay! We're SO close. The last letter from my husband said that they hadn't been IT'd in 10 days, so I think the division is working together better as a whole... which will definitely make battlestations easier on them. We're almost there, ladies.

Ok...I have to ask....BattleStations over.....has anyone heard anything from our SRs?
-

not yet, but I dont think we'll hear from them right away. I heard they will have capping ceremony first, that's what I heard not sure though. I can't wait! :)
