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."

Boo Hoo No letter for me today.
Hopefully our little hometown mail service is to blame and maybe something will come tomorrow.
This stinks though!

My daughter still nurses so I'm not so worried about her cause she'll be so tired from the time change and getting up early. Just hope our son, Grant, will be entertained by the ceremony...

Just the individual honor recruits loved ones sit in a different place than the rest of the division. It is possible for all of the divisions in a TG to receive the Hall of Fame flag, although it will probably never happen.

Good news from hubby. Ranked up to E-2 and was voted top 3 sailor in his division! He was tied for 2nd place. I'm so proud of him!!! He also passed PFA's. DIV 025 moms and wives: " We earned the first "Bravo ZULU" for our division from the inspectors because the "head" was perfect, we took a picture too," my hubby wrote. I haven't found the picture yet. Or they might put it in the year book. If you find it please message me or even friend request me. Only 9 days!!!!!!! I'm so excited to meet all of you!
