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."

My son is Holmes, but there is also another Holmes in the males besides him. He is fast, but he wrote me in 2 letters that he did the 1.5 mile in 10:30, so maybe it's the other Holmes, but thanks for letting me know. He does sound good in his letters that I got today and I'm getting ready to post the highlights.

I got 2 letters from my SR today, and also 2 of the questionnaires that I sent him. In several places he mentioned that they will do Battestations on Sunday Aug. 21. I was expecting Tues/Wed Aug 23/24. Has anyone gotten any information about Battlestations dates? I will post more later about other things he said in his letters.

I think she sent out that message because I had PM'd her what he said in his letters that I got today. That could not be right because I know that 269-270 and 271-272 went Thursday nite, and there was no BS last nite and won't be any tonite due to Captain's Cup so the most that could go Sunday nite would be 273-274 and 275-276, although 277-278 and 279-280 could go Monday nite, but 941 also has to go in there somewhere. If anybody gets any calls, ask your SR when they will do BS. In any case I am pretty sure 279 and 280 will go at the same time.
