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."

Red Rover, I sent you an email invite to the Facebook PIR group- I don't know if it worked. I don't remember how I found it myself! Hope you are having a good week. Maybe we will get letters tomorrow. 15 more days until we see our boys.

Earlier someone said something about if we didn't receive a phone call on Saturday, we might be getting one tonight. But I can't remember who it was.

My SR called on Sat. and we talked for almost an hour, he thought we would only get 30 min. and that we would get the other 30 on Thursday but then they got to talk for the whole hour so I just assumed that those who didnt get to call then would get their turn on thursday. I read somewhere that the phone banks are kind of reserved by the RDC for their division. Any words from the vets???

That's good. Hopefully my SR will be calling either today or this weekend. I look forward to hearing from him. It's been a long time since I've received a phone call.

I did finally get a phone call from my SR on Saturday. We talked for almost an hour as well. Then he received another phone call later that night because of his perfect scores on his tests. 10 more days until graduation !

Well I am jealous of all the other divisions who are getting calls, anyone else with me, we have to wait till wed or thurs to get our calls. Keep lighting those blue candles and keep praying. It's getting so close tomorrow is their favorite day, the day of rest. Sleep well our future sailors.

I was a little jealous today too- I was hoping for a call too- but happy for all the other families. I'm trying to take part or all of the day after BS off so I'll be home for the call. It sounds like it will be a long one- I keep adding ?s to ask him to my list! I hope our DIV enjoyed their day today and will get some more rest on Sunday to prepare. Sounds like some DIVs got to go to Recruit Haven- hope our boys get a chance too. Just a few more days!
