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."

News! But first, the more exciting one...me, the biggest procrastinator ever, JUST BOOKED MY FLIGHT (home!). I'm driving down with my SR's sister and her husband, and then flying back saturday night. :)
Got 2 letters today!! My poor SR was sick- again. :( His division does confidence chamber this week though. Scary stuff! They've gotten EVERY flag except one which they haven't gotten the chance to win yet. So awesome. Hahahaha. Everyone is talking about what they're gonna do after boot camp is over- my SR says he's getting a massage. Lol! And that's pretty much in. WE'RE ALMOST DONE. :)

I will be hopeful for you. My son had a ship date earlier in the summer and he got there and they DQd him. He had sold and gave away everything. Luckily he could appeal and it worked. I can't wait for the call He's a sailor.

The only thing I know is that ours (001) will be the first group through so they will be soon but because of the holiday it may be earlier or later. They are all coming up this weekend and next week! So nervous and excited for them

Hoping to get a letter from my SR today, he's been really good about writing each week. If you want to send me a private message I will tell you what he told me last week about a possible Battlestations date. RDC's read these public posts, so I'm not taking any chances. lol

Can you private message me the date that you heard please??? I'm trying to complete the schedule. Thanks! We can share by private message, just not on the public boards. You can put the date in a "Friend Request" to me...thanks!

karlawb is correct. If no one has heard of a date for this division, I will say this....keep those phones handy tomorrow...just in case! I'm just saying....I don't know the date. Normally the PIR groups start on Th/F (overnight drill) a week before PIR. But with Fri being Veterans Day, don't think they would do that this week. So just maybe....a day early---or later??? Phones in the bras are a good place to keep them for a call this important!
