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."

Div 288 just finished BattleStations. I got my call at about 4:00pm. He said it was fun and easier than he thought it would be but he is very tired. They have been up since 5:00 am yesterday and can't go to sleep until 8:00pm tonight. He sounded half asleep on the phone. He was telling me about his bunkmate from Indiana who also has A school at Great Lakes, his initials are N.F., so hello to his mom!

Got the call from my daughter div 287 ship 9 received all of their flags no problem!!! She's a sailor and it was wonderful to hear her voice. She is super excited gave me a whole list of what she wants to do with our two days together. She ships to A school early Sunday morning like 12:30 am so i am happy to say I get to see her twice at least ... and I have made my reservations in Pensecola for Thanksgiving so things are looking up and I am a happy PROUD NAVY MOM!! One down one more to go .. I just have to do this one more time in March and hopefully that will be a little easier for me than this rollercoaster.! :)
