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."

I am glad the color thing is getting around :) Got a few questions about it so posted in the scarf forum since it had been hiding a few pages back.. that way people that are new can find it a little easier.

So, my husband received the letter to him/the whole division of 062. He read it and said it was awesome and that he was going to read it to all of 062 at taps that night. That is pretty cool! :)
ALSO, to the mom I had tell your SR that my husband is their sexy mail man! All your son will call my husband now is "sexy mail man" It is hilarious. <3

January 30th is my birthday. I got a letter today from my son. He had almost all the Recruits in the Division sign it and put where they are from. It was awsome!

My son's letter said 11 days from day 4-5. From my calculation, that would make day 6-4 which is Tuesday (1/31) the day of their BS21. :)

I finally received my call from my SR. He said that he was always on lookout duty when the division was making the calls. He said that they had battlestations already and that the division did so well that they are basically waiting for the rest of the divisions to catch up. He is very excited that PIR is so close, but wishes it was this week. I can't wait to finally see him. Is anyone else's SR going to Charleston for A school?
