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."

We got a letter yesterday - it was dated 12/1/11 so they were 1/2 way through Hell Week and our son said it was going well. I have not heard about the tee shirts but I can't wait to get one! I don't have my red scarf yet but I'm working on it! Have a good day all!

Hey ladies...we finally got 1 short letter and 1 long letter. It seems they are all doing pretty well. They passed Marlinspike and they are coming together much better than before. I think they have 3 div flags now. I am hoping the next 3 weeks are MUCH smoother for our SRs. It sure sounds like it. :)

Yipee!!! 16 more days!!! WAY to much to do before then, but hopefully I will be so busy that it all things are checked off and time will fly. Now that I am hosting my hubby's side for christmas dinner I have more to do than I had planned on. Oh well- tis' the season to be frantic. hahahaha!
I am so proud of our Division. They are coming together nicely and flags are abound. Great job to all our boys!
Question- Does everyone know where their son will "A" school? Mine will head to San Antonio (Fort Sam) for HM
Have a Blessed day y'all!

Our son is going to A school in Great Lakes. He won't be taking leave until after A school. On a positive note, we will be spending Thurs Dec 29 to Monday Jan 2 with him whenever we can see him.

Our son is also going to A school in Great Lakes and - like the sailor mentioned above, he won't be taking leave until after A school. We will be staying in Waukegan until 1/1/12 and will spend as much time as is possible with our son, too! I cannot WAIT! Time seems to be going by quicker now - thank goodness! We got a letter yesterday and he still sounds great! Said he was getting his 3rd hair cut and that it is pretty cold there - but still no snow (as of 12/6/11 that is :). Have a great day everyone!
