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."

Ty I would love to see the picture. Jack is taking leave and driving with us. It may be rough because we decided to drive straight through. We are staying at the Marriott this time, it's three miles from Great Lakes.Last time we stayed at the Ramada, Waukegan. If you have any questions Karen I. has my cell. I'm so glad the boys left together. Their div has seemed to struggle a little. Dale was very stressed about tests also, but I think they are doing better. Next week Mike will ace, firefighting! Dale said he passed his weapons insp with no hits. If you are on FB think about joining the Div 403/404 10-25-13 group.

Hello everyone. I just found this forum. My husband is Div 403 and he is headed to Pensacola, FL for A School in Information Technology. This is our first time being apart for this long and it is really taking a toll on the both of us. So great to meet so many already and can't wait until 10/25! Our first wedding anniversary is coming up on the first of october and it'll be hard to be without him on that day, but our four year anniversary of being together is Oct 25, so I'm ecstatic we'll be together to celebrate that! Just another 30 days guys!!

Congrats to you both. Hang in there. My older son is a CTR and also went to Pensacola. If things are the same, he may be on the Cory Station side of the base.When my son was there he had a friend who had family visit from Nebraska for a weekend. If I remember correctly, they could go off base after three or so weeks, on weekends when they were not working. The hardest time will be now. You can skype when he is there. Best wishes on your 1st wedding anniversary.
