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."

Nicknukemom - I bought some inexpensive post cards and had everyone write a quick (positive) note on them for my son. Then as I mailed letters to him I included one each time from friends/family. Gave him something else to read besides all my letters lol!

I was making his picture board and found a picture of him in a sailor hat when he was a little guy. I forgot about that picture and it is so perfect, I'm putting it on the cake.

You'll find lots of good info there and they also form a specific PIR group for your division. Of course feel free to ask any questions of the Nuke moms and we will be glad to help out too!

I can't wait to start sending letters. My son requested that his girlfriend and sister keep him updated on the current memes. REALLY? So the girls will keep him updated while I make my own to send him, because he knows I'm just that way.
