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."

Hi soccermom - your son must have been in bootcamp just one week right behind my son.  My son was ship 11, div. 057 and had PIR on 1/28/11.

 

Yes, my son says power school graduation is December 2 so that means they are in the same power school class but maybe not in the same section .... Section 11.  What section is your son in?

 

Are you on Facebook?  If so, we have a very active Nuke Moms group over there and if you are willing to share with me your name or friend me, I'll add you to the group.  We talk about everything there as well.  Additionally, you can ready me on my real mail at pennyndoug@comcast.net - more realtime as I am always on my email either at work or home.  My name on Facebook is Penny Foster Carey and there is either a pic of a golden retriever or a pic of me with it tilted just a tad crooked!!!

 

Can't wait to get to know you and your son more.  My son's name is John Thomason, he is now moved over to Nautilus ... forgot his room number.  He is 6'2", age 23 and is red headed but how can you tell with so little hair.  Some call him sasquatch because he has to shave a couple of times a day to keep the beard down!!  lol

 

Thanks for writing and look forward to hearing from you again real soon.

 

Penny

Hey! Glad yall got it safe and sound! I don't know if you know or not but, here goes, our division moms have decided to wear something (hat,shirt,jacket) most of us ladies are wearing scarves the color of yellow/gold in honor of our young men and so they can see us. Give Christian heads up on this. They say when they come out marching they can not break formation by looking for us so, if they know we are wearing yellow and see some the at least  know where we are. I and a couple of others have ordered ours from L.L.Bean. It's lemon/white with a blue anchor!! It is the coolest thing. It's only $9.99 plus shipping which I ordered 2 & it totaled a liitle over 24$...if you go to that web site it is in the sale items...I think it's called a french sailor scarf? Let me know what you think......you may already have one. Hubby's are wearing shirts, hats, jackets.....thanks.......hopefully we will be getting calls today!! No letter today:(:(:(:(
