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."

No call yet, but that would be a great ann. gift.
Ladies, I have the best mother -in- law ever.
I was having a sad day, then come to find out she had teamed up with my SR before he left and made sure that I had flowers today. It was such a suprise. I was at work and cried, but never fear I did not cry alone my co-workers cried with me.
I really do love both of them.
Bring on the calls PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry! I guess his was an earned call and not the entire division. He did say their RDC only does reward calls, so he said we may not hear anything else from him until battlestations, so his wife told him to do something awesome to earn one.

I am very glad that he was rewarded for something that allowed him to call his wife :)
