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."

My daughter is in Div 225. I also received a call from her yesterday. It was only for 10 minutes, but I cherished every moment. She sounded good except for sniffing. She said there had been a virus going around and some of the SR had been sick. My prayers are not only with my child but also for all of the sons/'daughters that are there also..

Hello everyone! I am so glad y'all received phone calls! How exciting! There is nothing better than hearing their voice! I need a bit of help if y'all don't mind! I believe I have been addressing my letters wrong. Neither I, nor his family have received a form letter. I am going off of the return address he put on the letters he has sent me but after investigating this website for 20 minutes, I do believe I am writing it wrong. Can someone tell me how you have written it? Please and thank you! :)

Hello all!
My son is in this group but I only know the information because I was able to sneak it. He does not want anything to do with me. However, I have walked this road before three years ago and just finished my first 9 month deployment in the Persian Gulf. Look forward to following the process of BC with you ladies. It goes by faster than it seems, I promise
