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."

(ship 3 div 333) just got a call from my girl. She sounded so sad and lonesome, it about broke my heart. she said things are getting a little better but not much. She is currently on LOD but so far no word that it has or will delay PIR. Thanks for listening I think I'll go cry now.

she said limited light duty. A tendon in her foot keeps getting tight and pulling. I hope those of us that didnt get a call will soon and those of us that did will soon be getting another. Take care ladies and know that the Iowa Navy families are here with ya.

I'm so sorry about your phone call. A couple weeks ago our son called and he was so sad and homesick.But during the call, I asked him if someone was with him and he said yes. It was awful.
Hang in there!
