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."

I missed my husbands call on thursady because I was at work, but in his voice mail he sounded really good, he did not mention any thing about a flag, what did they do? He did say it was his last call for a couple of weeks.

I'm glad that at least you got to hear his voice...I'm not sure which flag they got, but they have different ones that they can earn....Education, Fitness, etc.

Hi Raya!! I haven't heard from my SR since May 8th either, he said it would probably be his last one before the I'm a Sailor call, and have only gotten 1 letter. He wrote his girlfriend, and said that they really only have about 2 weeks of hard training left, then it's Battle Stations and PIR practice. 221 and 222 will be the first ones to go through. I can't wait!!!

This way I think they won't be sleep deprived for PIR....

Last time I herd from my SR was on May 12 to wish me a happy mothers day I missed his call on the 8th, it was only for about 2 minutes. He told me that they only can write on Sundays, most of his free time he spends studing.
