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."

Do you have someone taking pic's for you?  I am not great at it but I know the others in our group will be taking them like crazy....  get me the info of your son and I will try to get some for you.
It's the old Watched Pot syndrome ... your poor daughter has probably had it up to here with being pregnant! Hopefully the baby will come in time for you to do double-duty as a mom. And just think, you can show baby pictures to everybody at graduation!
I hope everyone did great on the tues. test...
It's the home stretch! Hey, does anybody know what the new mailing address will be for grad hold? Can we still send stuff to E class 1004 section whatever?
just talked to my son today and he said to send it to Grad Hold instead of Class 1104 Section 10.
Heard from my son that he has been crazy busy, and the tests are difficult, but he is pretty sure he passed. I would think they should have the results tonight from today's test. Ten days to go!!!!!

Its flying by now!  Can't wait!  praying for them all!

 

their final test is tomorrow -- then comps next Tuesday
I don't know about you, but I'm stressing for them.  Can't think about much else all day long.  Just want this to be over, as they do. Tuesday cant' come fast enough.
My son had his last final today....Now on to the comps on Tues.  I can't wait till this is over....I just want the best for him, but its out of my hands now.  Its all up to him.  But he is great so i dont' worry.....much....lol
Man, I wish my son had that test today.  His is tomorrow.  I have not heard from him pretty much since last Friday.  Only a one word response the other day when I asked him if he was ok.  the reply was "NO".  UGH.  it's so hard not knowing.   I'm sure he is a stressed to the max.  Good thing is that I see he has watched a couple of shows on Netflix this week, to unwind a little, so I know he's alive.

It's 9:00 central time right now, which means 10 in Charleston, so I guess the Friday test is just about over.  I'm so glad to see that other sons seem to be stressing out, because I know mine is.  He said they had their last day of new stuff to learn last Tuesday, ever since it's just been review, review, review.  He said he'll get in as many hours as he can over the weekend studying, then a final review Monday, then it will be Tuesday and they can all breathe a huge sigh of relief when it's over. 

 

I breathed my sigh of relief last night when I got home from work and saw that my coins had arrived.  I'm so pleased with them!
