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."

Some of Div. 43 (Maybe 44 as well?) were at a Free Mason's Lodge somewhere near the base. We also got to Facetime with our son and see him in uniform for the first time. Wild. They were SO enjoying their time - a movie, lots of treats, dinner, phones/Ipads, etc. My son was so impressed with how hospitable and giving everyone was. I'd love to send an email thanking them, but I have no idea where they actually were. Anybody else find out?

Hey everyone on Ship 06 Div 044 - The boys do Battle Stations early this week. So keep those phones close for that afternoon I'm a Sailor call.
We're almost there...just a few more days.

For those who may be flying when the I'm a Sailor call comes in with your phones off, be sure to change your voicemail to greet your new sailor and ask that he/she leave a long message(s) in case you cannot talk to them again before PIR.

Hi all - just got my call, and NATURALLY I missed it!! Grrr! However, he said it was his last call before graduation so I am assuming he passed! He did leave a message, he sounded exhausted, and I am hoping he tries to call me back.

Hi all - Everyone in DIV 043 who went to Battlestations passed! There were some who were kicked out prior to that, but I assume you already know that. Congrats, we are all now Moms of fine Sailors!!
