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 would think since he arrived on the 21st and is in DIV 041 that he would be one of them. That would be so neat! We're from Mississippi. Where is your SR going to A school?

Just to let you all know, I finally got a call from my SR tonight. Conformation that he is one of the "super8". He was a little blown away that I had heard of that group. It sounds like he and his division are doing much better. Counting down the days until PIR!!!!

I missed this post before! I hate that you don't get an alert to tell you when you have a reply to a post. I don't have time to sit and read the whole board every night. We should start a facebook page or something.
Anyway that is SO cool! So that makes 3 of us so far that are confirmed Super8 Moms...lol.

my son's letter said he'd call on Saturday... he hasn't called. I'm thinking he just never got a chance but... did anyone else from 042 get a call today?

No call either but I didn't really expect one. Just really had hoped to talk with my sr as today is his 18th birthday. It's been a difficult day for momma :'(
