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."

I am really struggling with navigating this website.  I thought this link was for Ship 02, Division 950 but in red, it says to post questions under the main page?  Can anyone help me understand? 

Thanks, Kathy

Good morning all. No phone calls home again this week from ship 02 div 950? Did anyone get calls? I was hoping to hear from my son since the last letter i received from him said he had 3 of his wisdom teeth pulled :-(  I hope he is doing okay and didn't fall behind because of that!

No call here either.  It's been 2 weeks since I've heard his voice. Man, this is harder than I expected!  Hope your son is doing ok with his wisdom teeth.  Yikes!

Yes Kathy it is harder than i expected also! I'm assuming he is doing OK with his teeth being pulled since i haven't received any calls! I've learned on here no news is good news. I hope your  SR is doing well also :-)

You are not alone there. I haven't received a call since Sep 6th and the last letter I received from my son he said he had all 4 of his wisdom teeth pulled and one had to be drilled. Makes me feel awful cause as a mom I feel a duty to be there for something like that! Hoping and praying for a letter either today or tomorrow!
