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'm glad we are finally recieving letters.  I got one in the mail yesterday.  It's good to know my son is receiving our mail.  We got our plane tickets and reserved our hotel room.  Is anyone from this ship staying at the Quality Inn in Waukegan?  We plan on taking the shuttle to the graduation and it would be great to know if someone's son or daughter is with the same ship or division. 

I am staying at the Quality Inn :D  My daughter is this same Div.  Are you going to Sarge's Meet & Greet?

We might, depends on when we actually arrive, with weather and all.  We fly in on Thursday and have a layover in Minneapolis.  We will definately be signing up for the shuttle when we arrive.  Hopefully there will be more families with those from Div 47 staying at the same hotel.

I have been bidding on hotels in Waukegan.  Hopefully I win at Quality Inn.  I will be flying in on 25th because it was cheaper for me to fly that day.

How did your bidding go?

got the air fare back at half price but still waiting on the hotel and a car

that is awesome. what city are you flying into?

Tomorrow is our SR's free morning. Hopefully they go to church, rest, and write us some great letters. just a reminder with Christmas next Sunday be sure to get your Non-Musical Christmas cards out by Monday.

Already got my cards out :D

anyone traveling alone and need a hotel buddy?

I got my first phone call today!!  It was so very nice to hear her voice.  She is doing just fine and I am so very proud.  

Did she say anything about the division in general that would be fun to share with the rest of us?
