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."

Oh the reality of my son being gone has set in...missing him like crazy - haven't heard from him at all. I would love to hear if any parents have heard from their kids that are in the same DIV. Thank you

We have a couple of groups going. One is by their PIR data (which is 9/14/2012), http://www.navyformoms.com/group/pir09142012, and the other is for Ship 14 Div 291 & 292, http://www.navyformoms.com/group/ship-14-div-292. Turns out the divisions are paired on a lot of their training. If you go to the PIR group, you will meet moms of other SRs due to graduate at same time as yours. Also, get to know them before GL and may convince you to come to PIR. Come on over. I can tell you, it is only the company of these other moms that has kept me going so far!!

I just got my " I'm a salior " call today. Sam is in the same division as your son. Sounds like we are all a little bit homesick for our kids or them for us. such a transition. We are looking forward to seeing the PIR with grandparents and attending Sarge's meet and greet on thursday. dreading the flight from Seattle but the end result will be worth it all.
