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."

Hey, don't worry at all! If he didn't seem worried or upset it's fine. Div 008 seems to be doing well.

Have any of you been told by your SR's that they get 4 guests for the PIR, In this last letter my SR said he needed to know by 11/4 who the 3 guests were (mind you this letter was dated last Sunday). But my gosh when are these guys going to be told they get 4 so that they can add their other guest? This is so frustrating!!

Yahoo, finally someone in 007 or 008 with a confirmation of 4 guests!! Happy Happy Dance!!

Do you think our boys didn't call because they confirmed what we told them in our letters?

What really, you think they did what their mama's said to do... Maybe the 10x I sent the list of names was a hint???
