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 09 Divsion 076 PINK
Hello all fellow shipmothers, girlfriends, best friends, aunties, grammas, sisters, etc...
Just wondering who is in the same ship and division as my son. I live in Wisconsin and will be staying at the Navy Lodge for the PIR ceremony.
My son will be going to Groton after PIR. I haven't gotten a phone call from him yet but am excited to hear from him.
YOU?

None for me either; I'm a little worried that I won't get the call; I can't have my cell phone at work, so if he calls during the day, I might miss it. Does anyone know if there is a typical time of day they call the first time?

My dad, who was in the Navy as well as my fiance now told me they usually call on Sundays. Depending of course, on if there Ship and Division are well behaved and get there stuff done. But of course our men are well behaved so we shouldn't have to worry! lol

it could be sunny and the mid 50's or in the teens with howling wind....this is the Great Lakes area and it is VERY unpredictable. I have been in Chicago in March with a spring jacket one day and then having to bundle up the next day. And this year the weather in this band is so crazy...who knows!
