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."

Ship 03 Div 208
Any other mom's out there with SR's in this group? Did ya'll get the "call" or was it just my son afraid to call after 10:00 pm? Geez he should have known that no calls after 10 rule was for his friends! I don't think I was ever so happy to get a bunch of dirty clothes in the mail when the box came though and when the form letter came it was a comfort! At least I know he's not running around Chicago naked! Well everybody try to keep your chins up and nose blown...it won't be tooo long until PIR! GO NAVY

My SR called yesterday too! I've been walking on sunshine and with the goofiest grin since.. It was so good to hear his voice! I really can't wait till July 6! However he warned me that he would only get a couple of hours before he had to be back on base to prepare to ship out to A school! Oh well I'll just take my advice to him and keep taking one day at a time. Hope everybody got to hear from their SR.. GO NAVY

My son is in this group. We have our hotel booked, car rental reserved and plane tickets purchased. Now we are just counting the days - only 28. My son called a week ago, and he was having a hard time, but he had alot of things he had to work through. Then I received my 3rd letter this past Thursday, and our talk on Saturday encouraged him and he sounds better and is doing better. He has made quite a few "new buds" and they will be going w/ him to the same "A" school in CT. I am looking forward to meeting everyone. There are 3 meet and greets on July 5, does anyone know if one is better than the other? Be blessed.

I received 3 letters yesterday. YAY!.. OH and my SR said "our" division was told they were the best at MarlinSpike in the last two years! Our guys rock! I am soooo Proud, he made it through week 4 and passed all inspections, tests and the PFA (that was the one he really stressed over)! All with the barracks cough ( I wonder if that's like kennel cough)!
Lets hear it for our SR's HOOYAH! July 6th is coming up fast, just not fast ENOUGH!

Beener: All of the MeetandGreets have their own "flair" but SARGEs will have the most info for you. My guess is that it the one where most are. It is located near the Walmart shopping center, where Springhill Suites, Courtyard, Candlewood Suites, Residence Inn are located....nearby.
