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."

Looking forward to getting to know those who are in my son's division.  He is 19 and will be a NUKE.  I am so proud of him.

I use priceline name your price and put in the highest star level.  I am looking forward to the heated indoor pool.

Hey everyone !!! On the Facebook page we have agreed on wearing the green scarves, What do you guys thin?

The teens I am traveling with asked for white and I ordered them with the anchors.  I forgot about the color matching.

PRAISE GOD!!!! I just got a call from my son today! We talked for a long time. His grandpa and sister got to speak with him too. His name is Angelo and he says he knows everyone in the division 070. He told me that they mess with them badly there. That he and some of the other SR's when they took the running test for the stripes, they put a machine on his leg. My son ran 15 MILES and the requirement was 12. But here's the deal, he even ran an extra 2 miles before time was up and the stupid machine ONLY recorded 11 miles!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I think they do this on purpose to mess with them. He said this happened to him and a few others with the machine not recording correctly. He told me he wanted me to be proud of him. I told him I am proud of him no matter what and I know his abilities. He said the money doesn't matter to him but it was kinda messed up the way they did that to them. I'm going to tell his recruiter. Anyway he can do the test again in 9 months, it was for stripes on his sleeve-

He talks to other SR about God the father. 

I am so happy that I heard from him, I cried after I got off the phone.

I got a phone call today to.  Only for a few minutes.  I was at work and he called his girlfriend first.  He sounded great.  Very upbeat.  Sounds like things are coming together for them. 

I forgot to add, he told me to write it down, next call is Feb 9th.

I heard from my SR today also. I missed his first call, so now I have a voicemail that I can play whenever I want. I caught his second try this afternoon, we got to talk for 6 whole minutes! He is having trouble with shin splints from an old injury he didn't know about, and is on restricted duty for now. (Fingers crossed it won't hold him back!)
It sure was good to hear his voice.

I hope he heals quickly.

Got a great letter today.

Thank you Connie.

I got several letters from him today. they were all from before the phone call though.

MY SR said it takes about 4 days for our letters to get to him.  It is taking the same for me to get his letters.  It is really strange for my daughter.  She is 16 and had never addressed an envelope.  Getting info that is several days old already is driving her a little crazy.

Don't forget trivia Tuesday.  I'm hoping for a picture of our division.
