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."

kev323: I think you're so right when you say they are light years ahead of their peers from HS. They will show us on Friday just how far they have come since November.

Our division freakin ROCKS!! I just talked to my sonshine and he is stoked! He said that they rocked the "Cup" today! They really pulled together and had a huge win. He said they are the only division with all of their flags, so proud of them. :)
He called me and we talked for a while then he went into the computer room and we chatted on FB. Then he called me again. lol Now he is eating Taco Bell. I love his guts!
@momof3- I am so glad they are bunk mates! That is awesome!! They will at least know each other once they get to NUKE school. :)

Yes, great news on 039 winning Captain's Cup. We enjoyed the one hour phone call this afternoon.
The weather situation is looking good. I don't mind cold as long as snow doesn't affect the travel plans. Right now, we're on track to fly in on Thursday. We plan to attend Sarge's meet-n-greet Thursday night. Anyone else going to be there?
