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."

Hi, my SR is also in 268. My husband will be going along with my SR's significant other to PIR. I just started a new job and can't get away for graduation. It's all good though. My hope is to plan a visit to Pensacola later on. We still don't know if our SR is a grad-n-go.
Got the visitors pass already to go and actually printed 2 just in case. Be sure to use all caps.
Does everyone know to have your blue candle ready and on which date for battlestations? My SR was able to call on Saturday and gave us the date for battlestations.
Wishing everyone a blessed Wednesday evening.

I have my candle and having be burning all week. I will have to get another one soon this one is almost done.

I haven't been burning all week but there have been days where I felt my SR really needed our prayers. So I lit the candle all day, prayed and focused. It worked! Got a letter showing improvement and a lot more encouragement. I'm going to need to get a bigger candle here soon.

I just thought that I would not hurt any to burn when I was thinking about my son and I think that I must be thinking about him all the time this week since I talked to him on Saturday and I am not working now. Laid off last week so thinking about him all the time.
