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."

Anyone with division 081? Okay, I took a chance and booked flights before I got my letter, $117 Boston to Chicago roundtrip. Finalizing staying at Keylime Cove $113/night. We will have both the PIR and a birthday to celebrate that weekend!

Normita,
We are trying to learn the color of the division flag. Each division creates a flag of their own. Do you know the color of the flag for our sons' division? We would wear a scarf of the same color to identify our group. We can wear them at the Meet and Greet the night before, and at the graduation.
Did you get more mail today from your son? I am so happy we have more contact now.

Well ladies, it's Thursday. I did get letters, but none of them told me the color of the division flag. I know 083 is doing yellow with navy applique. What color or colors would we all like our scarves to be?

Normita,
I don't know where my son is going after bc. He was going to stay at Great Lakes, but we are waiting to hear if he was accepted into Ceremonial Honor Guard. If he is accepted, he will go to Washington D.C. You must be so happy your son will be going to Pensocacola. He will be the same state you live. I hope my son will go to Washington D.C. for 2 years. I hope to get some ideas for a color. Do you prefer a color?

He is going for it?! If he gets it and so does mine, then I guess they will be together again! Lol that's so funny. In a way I want him to, but then another basic is going to be hard! Lol

Oh yes he is, "chomping at the bit" waiting for the answer, that was Sunday. I hope he concentrated for "hell week" and forgot about it for a little while. There is a group that I joined, that gave me some good answers, but I will have to see if things have changed. The mom providing the info started this almost 2 years ago.
