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."

Andra**2sailorboys** My husband is Div 316.
For those of you with SR's in Div 316: My mother in law called this morning to say that my husband had written her a letter and said to tell me that if all goes well and they pass a test he will be calling me on Aug 27th around 10:30 AM CST. I am assuming the Division gets to call together, so we might be getting calls on Monday, ladies!

I didn't hear anything about the phone call, but now I'm going to be waiting on pins and needles! I pray that they all call.

I still have not heard a word from my daughter. I thought for sure we would have a letter Saturday. I could not wait to get home from work and run to the mail box. Nothing. Maybe she hates me.

I'm sorry you haven't heard anything yet, I know it's tough not to hear from them! I'm sure she doesn't hate you, maybe you'll get something today!

Has anyone gotten a phone call from their SR yet?

Not yet! I'm still hopeful, but you never know,

Not yet - I am in central time. As a matter of fact I could probably hop in my car and be there before mid afternoon. I think the Navy would frown upon that though. lol It is hard being this close and not hearing from her. I wish she would call........the waiting is making me antsy.

I haven't gotten a call. :( According to the letter my MIL got, he was going to be able to call around 1030 IF they passed a test. So I'm guessing maybe they didn't pass. I'm so bummed!

That will be a big bummer for sure. But I still have my phone by my side, just in case.
