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."

fa4airtran - so glad you got the detail of the written test and the new flag. Glad to hear that. Maybe your SR and mine can run together to get mine's time up.... kidding, but that's the only part of the pt he has to work on .

I'm counting on the 31 days - can't wait for this to be behind us all. So far to go, but look how far they've come. Thank you Cathy. I just love our little group. We're small, but we certainly can relate to one another.

Cindy,
Hope u didn't mind me calling last night. I knew you guys lived in Social Circle & got your number from information. I was so distraught at missing the call I thought I might catch you before your SR called & he could tell mine to try back again.
Am better today because it is one day closer to seeing him. No letter today but I really didn't expect one since I got one yesterday.
I am thankful for the connection of this group too. Helps to know you are not going through this alone and that my feelings are "normal." What an emotional time!

I was so glad you were resourceful enough to call! I hated I couldn't do anything to help. I totally understood! Am glad you're better today. I am, too, but I have to admit still in a bit of a funk. I wanted to ask, but sometimes, you just don't need to have to talk about it ...I was just following your comments here and there. I hope you have a great day today and we'll count on being 1 day closer!

Welcome to our little group, Kackley1231. Glad to have you aboard! Nice to hear from someone else in our DIV, I know we've all wondered about who else may be out there. My son said something about getting to make a 5 minute call soon. It took a long time for him to reach me last night. Hopefully, we'll get to hear from them again before Battle Stations.
