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."

We don't want to accidentally overlook any of them or you.
Hang in there!!!

Hello all.....Josh is in 338, dark short (lol) hair, glasses about 5'6", he's 19, been in DEP since November waiting to go....
NO letter since form either. I really want some info......names of friends etc. Anyone tell me where to find the questionaire, I printed it out and was missing a page, and now cant find it. Thanks.
Oh if you want to ask Josh from Fullerton, Mom Nancy.
I do believe our were the last divisions to be formed in this PIR date. the only thing Josh said on a surprise first Sunday there call was that they did yell a lot but he was not singled out.
I am hopeful one of us will get a call or note or something soon....funny how if one of you gets one we all benefit.
Happy Sunday and Monday.
Nancy

Evening all!! My son Blake is in 337...he's about 6' and is a red head now sporting those BCG which was a total surprise to us! He will be going to A school in San Antonio for MA. Only letter received was the form letter, we were lucky enough to get the "I've arrived" call and an additional call which was 9 minutes long (yes, I checked the time!). We won't be attending the Meet & Greet but will be at PIR. We live right on the IL/WI border so a hotel won't be necessary for us - we should have enough time that he can actually come home!! Here's to hoping we're all reporting tomorrow night about the letters we opened.

I know most of you guys live in states that aren't as land locked as we are here in OK. But I have to say I am getting more and more excited about my hubby's A school in Pensacola FL for Air Traffic Controller!!! It's 20 weeks long so that part won't be fun, but visiting him will be a fabulous beach getaway for me =) I've seen a few of your SR's A school locations. Is anyone else going to Pensacola?
