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."

OMG - We are over on the N4M and Facebook ship/div pages - not the PIR pages (since not all the PIR 5/26 are doing BS tonight).
So exciting!

Thanks for finding these. It was nice to have a laugh :) The worst thing about it is that they are all true :/ Brought back alot of memories! Every time I paint now I think of painting in the Navy. We had to paint the walls ALL THE TIME and don't wash them down first- just paint over the dirt!

I'm hoping my candle lasts till I get my phone call. They should have wrapped up the Battlestation by now. I hope they can get a few hours sleep. I am so excited for them, as I'm sure you all are. Please post when you get your call. I want to hear what all of them have to say. Can't wait!!! Kudos to all your SAILORS!!!

Just got a letter from my son and it seems that he is really sick with the stuff thats going around and 6 other guys have it now too. He even wrote "don't get sick from this letter please" Apparently he thinks the virus will spread :) Not even sure if he was able to go do BS last night. Can someone ask about him when they talk to their SR? Maybe help to ease a momma's mind. :( If I DO happen to hear from him I will definitely ask if everyone was able to get through it and will pass the info on to you all. Thanks.
