OPSEC - Navy Operations Security

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'm just wondering who the N4Ms are who have SRs in this Division. Hopefully we will be getting mail/calls and can share the information.

Yes! He called his fiance, then called me. He tried home first & got me on my cell. He said everyone is sick -- there were so many questions that I completely forgot all of them. Any word about div 215 and how they are doing?

My SR said they are down from 80 something recriuts to 68 so it must be really hard. He was sick also.

Yikes! My SR is the PO to pack up those leaving. He said he's had to do one a day and expected more. Wow it is really tough -- Tomorrow is Sunday so they will get a little rest. My SR said he shined his shoes for 45 minutes? (Hard to believe-- but maybe not!)

When I read this my heart sank BUT I know that they will toughen it out and pull through! :) I went straight to writing him an encouraging letter that I will be sending tomorrow. Even if I don`t receive anything from him until the "I am a sailor" call, I`m gonna continue to write him encouraging letters. If I don`t get his letters tomorrow then I know why. I`m so thankful for the ones who are on here to inform those who don`t know. But still I pray for letters and or a call from our Sailors! 23 MORE DAYS! WE CAN DO IT! ^_^ God Bless.

DEEnJAY -- there's a link in the list of discussions about that happens each week. You'll have to click on view all to see it. They are supposed to have lots of inspections and tests this week. My SR even mentioned it in his letter that this week will be tough but he said he was ready! I've been sending a letter each day and in it lots of encouragement. These days will make them the best sailors they can be and prepare them for the fleet. Division 215 is going to shine!
