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."

I've gotten letters... but no phone call as yet.  I can't wait to hear his voice.  Tell me... what does SR stand for... I thought it was his initials... since they would be S.R.  Who's planning on attending the graduation... aka, PIR?  And, where are you coming from???

My son had his wisdom teeth, plus another removed.  And the cold too.... guess it gets spread around.

Was out to lunch this afternoon... realizing I left my phone in the car.  I ran out to get it (just in case he called)... and no kidding, about two minutes after I sat back down... he called!!!  I'd gotten seven letters up till now... but this was the first phone call and he sounded wonderful!!!  All is going well for him and the division!  He said after A school, he will be coming home from August 17 to 29.  Said he noticeably gained muscle mass... this I gotta see!

Got a call from my son yesterday. :-D  He said they are SUPER excited, getting close to the end.  He also said that he's gotten his preliminary duty station (Japan!).  Anybody else hear the same from their SR?

SR called... said Battlestations the 21.  Sounded great!

03/236 did gas chamber today... SR survived!

Was calling on an official issue... so couldn't really talk.  But at least I got that from him.
