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."

Got a letter from my daughter today. She had a lot to tell me about. She said "hell week" wasn't so bad. She said the gas chamber was this week as well as fire fighting on Friday. She seemed excited about all she is learning. She also said *()they would be making phone calls on the 23rd. She said probably no phone calls till then. She sounds like she is missing us a little. BTW- she did say the food was great on July 4th- gave me the whole menu including apple and cherry pie with ice cream!!

did anyone get any phone calls lately?

The div has not made any phone calls, the only reason I got one was because my SR needed info for his security check the Navy is doing for his A school.

Does anyone know what day our SR's do BS?

I got a call last Thursday or Friday. I don't know if she earned it or what because I haven't heard of many others who got calls then.

I have heard several places about making a centerpiece for their graduation. I'm not sure how it works but I would sure be interested in having something special for our sailors.

Got a letter from my SR today, he is ready to graduate. Apparently his Div calls him Iceman because he never sheds a tear when he calls home, he does not show emotion. I bet you he will shed a tear when he see's me at graduation, can't wait to see him in 7 days!!
