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."

Serving coffee to the higher officers. Sigh, on the brightside, he would like to thank Starbucks for all the Navy training.

My SR is a Sideboy - greeting the Higher Officers - It would have been great if my SR was serving coffee - his girlfriend is a Starbucks Barista! Hehe

I got a letter today!! So exciting but it held some possible bad news. My SR wrote that the those who are performing the staffing duties may have to work their own PIR. This would mean that they would not get to be on the floor for the ceremony! Nothing is set in stone yet and he said that they would know for sure after Battle Stations, which is scheduled to occur on Feb 5th.

OH I REALLY HOPE NOT!! I think I recall seeing video of some sailors saluting the higher ups as they enter from the side.... maybe that will be them?

I got my weekly letter today. My SR asked me to try to connect with his new friends families. Of course he gives me last names and we can't use those so here is the info i think we can use. SR W from Sacramento, SR K, SR B-B and SR B. Not much to go on but wanted to give it a try so if your SR sounds like a match message me. KYKathryn, he wrote about your SR, I think it was the same person, he said he was a really good guy. It seems like there is some good bonding going on in the Div, and some that are still not getting there act together which is why our phone calls were so short. They are definitely busier and seems to lessen the homesickness.
