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."

Archangel, Try this link; you shoul be able to copy and paste it into the web address field.
The menu option on the page should show a "Photos" link. The pics are fun but not really organized in a way to search/see a specific ship/div. I am really sorry to hear that your daughter has been so sick and hope she gets better soon! My son is going to Pensacola also.

Patience is definitely the key! I'm just thankful in her letters she hasn't written anything about being sick. I did send her some band-aids because I had read online about the blisters. She wrote back to me saying I was a little late. She got them when she first got there but they went away. Wish I had known about them before she left!

My son has not written anything about being sick either. Regarding the bandaids, I'll bet if you had sent them with her they would be been returned in her "box" or "donated". LOL.
My son told us 3/209 has 4 flags and there are 8 that they can possibly earn. Hope we get all 8. He also said he was advanced to E-2 which means more pay and a slighter high rank.
Are your attending the meet and greet in Waukegan?

It's funny you say that about your daughter. My daughter also got the perfect attendance award in High School for not missing any school either for 4 years. They sound like two of a kind. God Bless our SRs.
