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."

Amy ~ Where did you get BS was 14 Dec? This is getting confusing, I read it may have been last night and today and the phone calls for 017/018 may be this afternoon! I'm hoping what I heard was true, I would hate to think I have to suffer the not knowing until next week :-(......... 1 Week from today! yippppeeeeee

Fishmom ~ I'm with you on I think now is worse than the beginning. I expected no letters and calls for a while, but now it is really nerve racking! I pray they complete BS soon and we get a call. I am hoping to see posts of phone calls being received. Today would be nice, really nice, really really nice :-)! Its like waiting for Christmas and can't open the gift until "THAT DAY"! Wow how did I make it as a child...much less today :-)! Everyone have a blessed day.
