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 agree with the timing of BS. I have a lot of people praying for our SR along with his division brothers. Hoping they all work together and that we don't jump out of our skins before we get the call. Standing strong with all of you.

Has anyone received any phone calls since mid October?

Hello Kat72,
We didn't get any letters today either. WE were hoping. We haven't had any phone calls since a few weeks ago. We felt so bad because our SR said it would be his last call for a while and we missed it. We even had our phones with us.
We agree about next Friday! We will be going to Sarges on Thursday night. I guess it is very informative.

My SR son called Sunday night (11/10) because he had to have his tooth pulled so he was SIQ. He gave me BS date for DIV 017. I sent it to DianneP and she said it was correct. Inbox me if you want the info. Or maybe you inbox Diannep. I don't want to break any rules....

Hello Dani, We are rowing in the same boat. Our SR's must know one another.

Saturday I will be in Portland most of the day but will be home early evening, then Sunday I will most likely go to church on Sunday at 11. So we could meet Saturday night or anytime Sunday. I am completely flexible!
Let me know what works best for you.
I didn't get a letter on Wednesday but am praying I will have one in today's mail.

Ben'sgram-ship 13.. I have not gotten a call in a month with my SR getting wisdom teeth pulled then getting peunomonia and being on LLD for weeks. Does anyone know if BS was moved up for Div 018 due to holiday week for next PIR?

My son is also Div 018. We have not received any calls for about a month also but I did get the BS date for their div. If you want to inbox me I can give it to you. Hope your SR is ok.
