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 got two letters today, too! My daughter is sick (in SIQ); she is so hoping this doesn't delay her again and effects her physical requirements. Hope we can get a call by next week; I have so much to ask her.....

Well, division 121 called home this evening? I didn't get to hear from Ash...kind of wonderment of why I didn't hear from her and really missing her....(sniffle, sniffle). Of course, I guess she could have called someone else...who knows...

Well, the call that everyone else got last week, I got to receive this evening (5 minutes). She explained she was on watch that evening and didn't get opportunity to call when everyone else did....so great to hear her voice. Her voice broke a little bit, but she didn't want to waste time crying and just talked. She's begging for stamps and envelopes; she stated that my letters brighten her day and to write as often as possible. I also receive three letters from her today!!!! It's been a great day!

My boyfriend's in ship12 div 121 as well. I got a phone call from him today and it was great to hear his voice, unfortunately it was a very short one, only 2 minutes. They got in trouble today, so thier phone calls were cut very short. Accourding to my boyfriend, who's in his early thirties, this division is very "immature" and a lot of these "kids" are treating this experience like "summer camp". Hopefully in the next month they will all pull through. I pray for him everyday and can't wait for PIR!

My boyfriend called his parents today but both his calls never got through:( I also heard that they have they hardest RDCs so hopefully they will kick them all into gear and they can get over the immaturity. I'm so sorry Audra that you didn't get to talk to your daughter! Hang in there, maybe they might earn another call? I also heard they may start getting to write tues./thurs. Now too? Congrats to all those who got calls today so happy for you even though they were short!
