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."

Hey Ladies. I was writting Morgan and telling her about us getting to know each other. I was wondering of we could list a role call our name and the kiddeo's first names so I can keep it straight and tell her about you all. Would one of you make a list and either share it here, on fb or privetly so we can all better keep up with each other. Thank you

It would be better to do it privately. No last names are allowed on here. Also please make sure you read the OPSEC and community guidleines (it is in the "pages" section underneath the group members photos). It explains about safety and also the fact that the RDC's (instructors) read this site and cam match you up with your recruit. Sometimes.results I'm some extra "attention". They're trying to "fly under the radar" so to speak.

I made me a list while on night shift last night. I have it figured out now who belongs to who. Thanks. I love this site and think I could just hug and kiss the person responsible for comming up with it because there is such a great need to have it. It has made all the difference in the world for me to make it thru the really tough first days. I will prob check in here from time to time but I like the privacy and ability to speak freely on fb. only the friends I allow to view my page can view my page. I would hate to not follow a rule or slip up and cause someone undue hardship or harm. You have been very kind and I appreciate your guidence.

I love the countdown.....makes me smile every time another day falls off. 37 days Ladies!!! Wahoo. I really really could use a letter. I know we should have one this week but I am so anxious for it. I am also sure my baby girl will be homesick but hopefully not too depressed in the letter. I can get through every day believing that as tough as it is on her she is right where she wants to be and is just fine!

I love the countdown too Jen. I can hardly wait to get to the post office to check my po box for mail. Yesterday I sat and waited outside my box talking to the mail room clerks about Morgan while I waited. I keep my box open while we chat. I can see a small square of them right above their knee caps and they can see 1/3 of my face, one eye and part of my nose while we chat. Im getting pretty used to their voices tho and can place a name with a voice now even tho I havent ever seen all of them . Grin. I cant wait to hear who gets mail first. Praying for positive letters. Have a great day everyone.
