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."

Sorry kev-hi!
My son send me the adoption form. He knows I probably can't go but wanted my family back east to get. Unfortunately they live in Maine. Not as close as he thinks. Maybe some in our group can adopt him.
He says their division isn't the best so he's not sure about when they will get to call. He wrote the letter sat. Wonder if this means my letter days are Wed? If so, great hump day! -

Congrats to all of you that received letters. I assume mine would have come today but with the holiday I won't get it until tomorrow. I sure hope so.
gmansmom- so he said their division wasn't the best? Did he elaborate on that at all? I just was wondering about that. Did he sound discouraged about it? Does he sound in good spirits? I sure hope I get a letter tomorrow. :) hope your day is lovely.

Mindy,
I know when I talked to my son the other day he said he thought he was one of the worst recruits ever. He said it is so hard to do everything they tell you as quick as they like. My opinion is that they probably want everyone to feel like they are "not the best" it is part of the mind games to get everyone to work together to be the best they can be. Hope you have a Happy Thanksgiving.
