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."

Hey Lorie Lee I also have a son that is on Ship 3 Div 020, I also finally received my first letter from him and hopefully his wife will receive one really soon, I know she is missing him as much as I am. I know his lil guy is missing him also. He has a son that is 6 months old and a new wife so I know that it is really hard on her too. Hope to keep in touch so that we can compare their progess thur their new adventure in life. I plan on being at the PIR hope to see you there

Rosie no letters here my son has been gone for 4 1/2 weeks. Something happened we got a phone call saying he was set back two weeks. No idea why, we are very worried about him. We hope that maybe next week we will get a letter. I am glad you have received a letter did he say how his division was doing as a whole?? anything about being able to make phone calls??

Lorie-Lee that has to be really hard not knowing anything. Praying you find out something more soon! My daughter is the same ship and division as your son and she sounded hopeful that they would get a call next week sometime - of course that all depends.

Kim, our daughters are in the same division and we got our first letter today. She said some of the same things your daughter did. Glad they are all doing good. I think it was this past Monday on the PT test because my daughter mentioned in was the next day and she wrote on the 14th. Wish they could write every day like us. I have a million questions to ask her. ;)

So good to see so many with loved ones in these divisions! At first I didn't see very many but now it looks like there's quite a few of us. I hope all of you who haven't received your "real" letters get one today. I expected ours to come on Thursday and when it didn't I thought maybe she didn't have time to write and figured it would be another week. It was a nice surprise to come home and find a letter in the mailbox yesterday. Counting down the days to PIR - may they pass quickly!
