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 received a call on Sunday, but very short. He said he had 20 min for us and then was going to call a friend forb10 min. After about 5 min he was rushed off phone. But really good to talk to him. He said that they just got to mail letters this past Sunday.

Same here! How did your son sound? Mine was so upset! In a good way I should add! He said he realized how he could have treated me better and was extremely apologetic! My heart swelled with happiness! I told him that I know that he loves me, but to kick butt!! His Aircrewman contract was pulled because he failed his hearing test. He is awaiting to see what other possible jobs are available to him. I found out that even though he passed his hearing test at MEPS.. They do a real extensive one up there at GL. I just hope he is happy with what they offer. Or he will have the option to come home! I told him to think hard because he is almost 1/2 through BC!! :)

He sounded good but the call got cut short. He said that 947 is involved in graduation ceremonies. Seemed excited about that. When does yours find out about other jobs?

Still waiting! Yes I found out that he was in the Honor Guard that will be doing the rifle ceremony at the graduation! I was so stoked! I sure hope he finds out soon because I haven't booked a hotel; flight or rental car AT ALL!! I hope and pray they let us know in enough time before all the rooms and such are taken! I thought he would have found out this week. He mentioned going to see them about a new job offer. But I got no call as of yet! Maybe Sunday!? :) Fingers crossed! :)
