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 am SO glad you rec'd your letter WeeBee's Mom! We rec'd the form letter on Monday and it was a good thing to see my daughter's address and graduation date! I do get calls from 847 but that is due to friends living 9 miles from the Navy Base where our sailors are! Hang in there and talk to you later.

We are staying at the Holiday Inn in Waukegan. If you call they have a BC graduation package. Plus it is walking distance to places to eat, and near the Sarge Meet and Greet.

Hi everyone,
Hope everyone is doing great, and try to enjoy this end of Summer holiday weekend!!
I know we are all praying for that letter or phone call.
Is it bad when you start talking to your cell phone, saying come on ring ring 847, 847 847.
Then it finally rings and you answer, you see it's your husband. UGGHH "oh it's you!!" lol

Good evening, ladies. Here's hoping that any news that may come in from GL is happy news. This Friday night is a lot better for me than last Friday. It probably has something to do with the fact that when I got home from work my husband told me that we are all booked for flight, rental car, and Navy Lodge. Action and progress. I like it! Everyone stay healthy and strong and have a happy, safe Labor Day Weekend.
