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."

Oh, congratulations!  Hang in there.... not much longer and we will get to see and hug our SRs!!!!

can i have a fastforward button lol

desireenavygf  Thats cute you are still counting months!  Ahhh, true love.......

I would love a fast forward button. Cant get here soon enough!

We had a small party at our house last night and I actually felt guilty for having so much fun.

Thats sad that this whole thing brings so much strange emotion to us.

These are pretty cool!

Plane tickets for my son and I, done.

Rental car reserved, done.

Plane tickets for daughters, done.

Hotel room, done.

Now I just have to wait for Sept 29th (day we are flying in) to hurry up and get here!

And not only am I excited to see my SR, but her sisters live in Pittsburgh, PA (I am in Southern California) and one of them I haven't seen since she moved there in July and the other I haven't seen since January!

 

 

thats great
hey ladies have any of you heard from your sr when they will be able to call again?
No, I have not heard anything about another call Desiree.
ok thanks let me know if you get any info my sr is bad with relaying info. i have asked him several questions and still havnt recieved 1 answer lol

Ladies    Pretty sure the calls are random and not planned except for the 3 week call.

Some RDCs dont believe in them.  We can only HOPE they perform something really well and that is a reward. I could really use a call too.   I feel so bad for him right now. A bunch of his girlfriends letters came back with postage due, so I am sure he thinks she has stopped writing to him.   Too many letters in one envelope.

Does anyone know exactly where they are in training?   Like I think tomorrow is week 5 day 1 but not sure with the holiday in there.

Horselover, I believe our division is on Week 4, Day 4 today.  

When my SR called on 8/24, he stated that they would be starting Week 3, Day 1 the following day.  And I believe we have to deduct one day for Labor Day - since they were suppose to get a second holiday last Thursday or Friday - instead of this past Monday.  So today should be Week 4, Day 4.  And tomorrow would be Week 4, Day 5.  Make sense?
