OPSEC - Navy Operations Security

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."

All my thoughts and prayers are going out to the families and loved one on the Naval Sea Systems Command Headquarters. I pray that the deaths and causalities will be few and that the brave sailors will be kept in all our prayers. God Bless them all.

Received a phone call yesterday afternoon from Colt division 396. He sounded so much more upbeat. It was great to him so positive. Just makes me anxious to see him in October :)

It was so nice to get a phone call 2 days in a row. What a treat for Div 395. They must be making great progress. My daughter sounded good (what a big difference from last week). Now, no more calls until after battlestations. Can't wait for that call :)

Spoke to The Photo Lab this morning. Div 396 is scheduled to have their picture made on 9/27. Wish I would have thought to ask, if the picture will be taken in the blue or white uniform?

Can we order them for our families or do the sailors order them? How did you get a hold of the lab?

The number for The Photo Lab is 847-578-6205. Package A $140 includes 11×14, 2 8×10, several 5×7, 24 wallets, division pic and yearbook. Packet B, no 11×14, no yearbook for $20 less. The SR can order or you can order at PIR. If the SR orders he can request the pics be sent home for a small fee, of course.

I just ordered 60$ worth of ribbons for my son's PIR. I may have over did, but I am sooo excited. It's finally getting closer. I hope these next few weeks go well for all the recruits. I know some of their hardest training is coming up. I am looking forward to see Wyatt soon....
