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."

I hear ya!! I'm happy for them, but... jealous about calls & already gone through battlestation. Our time is coming!! Rumor about call tomorrow after captain's cup. Keeping my fingers crossed! Starting to pack. Live in So. Fla so limited fall/winter clothes. You'll be able to pick me out @ pir but the mismatched oddly outdated clothes LOL.
I am a navy veteran myself. This will be the first time back @ Great Lakes in <gulp> 37 years!!!! excited!!!

Wow that is crazy!! I am in Texas so I don't really have winter clothes either. I do work in a clothing store so that helps, we are getting in these huge sweaters and stuff right now so I am buying everything.
I hope we get a call!!! I could really use one right now! -

Glad I have a half day of work tomorrow. I would love to talk with him. We live in Nashville a mix of weather. Too excited about next week. I can't wait for the call! Glad and jealous of those who have received them.

Just want my SR to be done just like the first half of the TG.
Sorry for being Debbie Downer LOL
