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."

Good evening all! Got my letter SRs wisdom teeth pulled sick in quarters for two days. Does that delay graduation?

It shouldn't delay your SR at all. Your SR was probably SIQ with several others who have had the same thing done.

I just saw this note - I was reading all of the posts to see if anyone mentioned this. I found out Morgan got 3 wisdom teeth out too! Also found out he had pink eye and didn't get to do any real shooting. They didn't want him to with pink eye.

Just to let you know none of them go by first names only last names so you might want to private message them. Some of them will get nicknames LOL.

My son is in Ship 11 Div 301. Got another round of letters today. He writes one to me, his dad, his brother, his sister in law and his Aunt and puts them all in one envelope addressed to me. He also writes his girlfriend, not bad for only being able to write on Sundays! He seems to be doing awesome! Can't wait for that first call!

I'm struggling with what to get for a graduation gift. While I don't want to spend a LOT of money, it seems like we should have some keepsake to note the grand occasion. I've looked at the challenge coins, but that doesn't really hit the spot. Does anyone else have any good ideas?
