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."

Jay called!!! He left May 27, but got to call already
He said he is in division 937 and playing the trumpet. Graduation is July 24. I am so excited. He sounded great. Said this is his Chief's last division and that all of the guys get along and support each other. Won't get to his ship until Thursday. I feel so much better. At first I thought something was wrong, because I thought he couldn't call unless something is wrong, but he said no, everything is great. They were given an hour today. I am so happy.
Anyone else in Div. 937 or get a phone call today from their SR?

Jaysmom, that's great news! My son left the same day from California. Still no box or form letter. I'm dying to know when his graduation will so I can make our flight arrangements. We got the one call to say he made it and could call again in 3 weeks. Congrats to your son!

Oh, That is so great for you!! You must have been ecstatic!! I really hope to hear from Jake soon. I'm missing him so much and haven't heard a thing from him or his recruiter. He left May 26th.

My God I was so relieved and shocked. I had to laugh because he said, mom, it's jay. Lol like I didn't know. It came from (847) area code. My first thought was something was wrong and they were sending him home, because I heard not to expect a call that early unless something was wrong. He said day 2 he had a horrible caffeine withdrawal headache and had to drink Coke Zero.
