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."

Hi all, wow...seems we all are figuring this out a bit! =) My son called Sat around 4:15PST, so they must've all been calling about that time. He sounded really great! He is a section leader for 303/304 and was complaining a little about the "IT" intensive training because people were talking. (I had to laugh a little...He's gonna come out of this looking like Popeye!) I don't know what the academic flag is, but I bet it's a really good thing!!! He hung up with me and then called right back to say expect a call on Monday. Dummy me, I didn't ask if it was from him or someone else...I assumed him. However, I never actually got a phone call! =( Don't know what that was about??? I'd love to meet you all at Sarge's! Kelly and I will be meeting up! =) Hope everyone is hanging in there. This absolutely helps me, I can tell you that!

I know...haven't spoke to him in over a week now. I have my phone handy. Has anyone learned what the academic flag was for? I'm thinking they are in some type of intensive training right now and that's why we haven't gotten calls. Yesterday and today have been rough though with no call.

My son called at 2:30 and I missed his call. He got in touch with his Grandmother. He did tell her next week is Hell week. He told her they start firefighting training next week and that this was the last call home until after Battlestations that they will be extremely busy until then. Only a few more weeks....

Hello Jeff's Mom! We are good. Bringing back a lot of memories for my husband. He was in a long time ago (1971 - 1975). Looking forward to meeting you as well. I know I can't wait to talk to him. It's hard to believe it's week 6 already! In two weeks we get to see our SAILORS! HOOYAH!
