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."

If any families from Division 155 cannot make it to Sarge's Meet & Greet on 5/17, please send me a private message with your SR's last name so that I can make sure that their names get on the banner. Thanks!

I agree! I'm sooo excited! And in lots of ways I'm worried I won't get all I want to do done - but right now time seems to be standing still because we are still waiting on that "I'm a Sailor" call!

Just think of how excited and anxious the SR must be right now, knowing it's almost over. They too have been counting the days, What do you think they'll want to do first? Shower, eat, sleep, watch TV, TALK? I like the idea of pizza & soda ( since beer is not an option), but maybe something special? what is your SR's favorite food? Mine likes Cuban food, that's what he wanted right before he left. Alas No Cuban restaurants near by Great Lakes. I'll have to import plantains from home and figure out how to cook them! That and I wager he'll want a Starbucks coffee! What are you all doing after PID?

I'm sure the guys are very ready to be done with BC! I know for sure that one of the first things he wants to do is take a REAL shower! lol I'm just going to play it by ear and let him choose whatever it is that he wants to do! We are only going to get about 8 hours with them since both of our boys will be flying out first thing on Saturday. My SR likes just about anything. I believe his favorite foods are seafood and BBQ, but like I said, he will eat just about anything...he has never been a picky eater! :)
4 more days! :)

Battlestations 21 tonight! Good luck to our SR's with their final test! I'm a nervous Mama! I know he'd roll his eyes and say "I got this mama" "Don't worry" and I'd say "But, it's my job as a mom!" lol! We're all the same!
