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."

Nothing since yesterday. No letter from yours? :(

No - but we didn't get any mail today - it rained real hard last night and this am - our county road was flooded in a lot of places! some of the culverts were washed out - thank goodness for 4 wheel drive!! LOL I just hope they deliver tomorrow!!
I started to get real concerned but keep thinking - no news is good news!! (Yeah - that's it!! LOL)
I did however have a message on my home phone from a "special agent" wanting to meet with me about my SR
for his security clearance. I called him back and left him a message - so I guess I am playing phone tag with him!!

Keeping my fingers crossed that you hear from your SR today!!! I hope to hear from mine again today. :) He sounded very positive in his letters!!

I'm with you on that one! Ours hasn't written much either. He also said (letter dated 14th) he had not received any mail from us in a few days. Not sure what is going on but I write every single day!

Only 9 more days folks.........please update if any of you hears anything. I have backed off writing every day to every other day. I was worried he may get overwhelmed by needing to answer if he is busy studying. I am pretty sure we will get the "I am a sailor" call on Friday the 22nd. That should be the end of Battlestations. That is the original date we were told on week 3 the next phone call would be. We were lucky to get 2 other calls in between. In case any of our guys are on duty please update whoever hears.
Thanks..

ronniesmom;
I think it depends on his A school and what job he signed up for!
I have heard some of the schools have been shortened and some were getting their orders for sooner than they thought - I haven't heard that from my SR yet but....
Who knows!! LOL

Well, DIV. 150 - Tonight is the night!! Say your prayers for them all to "shine!" Be sure to "post" when you get your phone call!!! HOO-YAH 150!!!
