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."

We got a call this afternoon! Sounds like they are doing ok in Div 085. They got a lot of snow and my SR told his sister he was glad he didn't have to stand snow watch. He indicated they are on day 2-1 and Monday will be 2-2.

Got a call this morning. Sounds sick. Said he spent Christmas morning shoveling snow. What does it mean to be on day 2-1. Does that mean they're not even through the first three week period?

motormom, my son is in 085. He said they were on 2-2. That probably means that Friday was 2-1 and Monday will be 2-2. My math shows that Friday should have been 2-5 or 3-1 depending on whether they were on holiday routine on both 12/31 & 01/01. They of course know better than we do so I guess Monday will be 2-2. If you look at the day-today listed on navydep.com week 2 day 3 is a big test day. Since several of our SR's have stated that Tuesday is a big test than that sounds right

Well my son called and guess where is was....at the mall!!! I knew i should have stayed home. Oh well at least my husband was home to talk to him. Said he sounds great and he is doing well. He didn't ask nearly has many questions I would have, but at least I know he is ok. He said get gets enough sleep, eats good, stands watch has the top bunk passed his swim test and his PFA. I feel more relaxed today knowing my son is doing well and is happy.

We got a call today. He sounded good, said there's lots of them with colds, but sounded fine. He said he thinks maybe another call later this week, I'm not sure why. He didn't talk long and the phone kept going out. He said there was a line and lots of people were in line to make calls.

He called at 2:45, he either said he'd be able to call again Thursday or next Thursday. He was really rushing and we barely had time to talk.
He said to continue writing, a lot, so write, write, write, -
