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've read that it should be the end of week 7 Diana.
We won, we won!!!  Someone from 357 won a picture of our group on Facebook!!!  Hopefully up by tomorrow!  So excited!!
myy best friend won a picture of our div ladies on facebook they should be posting it soon
Tell her Thank you, Thank you, Thank you from the bottom of my heart!!!

Annie,

I just messaged you and asked if that was your friend. My son said another guy got sent home and I wondered if it was your hubby bc you hadn't been on in a while. Guess not cause your hubbys right in front smiling from ear to ear! Tell your friend thank you from the bottom of all of our hearts!! She has made my week!!!

nooo thank god it wasnt my hubby lol  yea that my hunny smiling ear to ear.... trust meeee shes extactic to make our next 2 weeks lol were u able to see ur SR
yeah I tagged him in the fb photo. On the bottom sitting all the way on the right. Look at my photos on my n4m page. You will recognize him in the fb photo.

Last night I couldn't wait to tag the photo and tell all my family.  I guess 3 square meals a day isn't enough for my SR, he looks like he has lost some weight.  He would eat ALL day long.  Has his fathers metabolism.  Told him before he would never have to worry about gaining weight with his metabolism. I'm bringing his favorite homemade oatmeal cookies and snacks for Friday.  :)

Really sad to hear but a SR fractured his leg in Ship 9 Div 360, so his mom was notified about his PIR being reset.  :( How heartbroken)

That is really sad!  At least they are just resetting his PIR and not making him start all over!
my SR has lost alotttttt of weight i wanted to bring him chicken cutlets and fettuccine Alfredo but i think that would be much to travel with lol mayb ill make him brownies lol cantttt waittt

My SR looks like he's thickened up some. He doesn't look like skin and bones anymore. My son would hardly ever eat. I was thinking of making a treat bag for him (like he's trick or treating or something lol) with a few of his favorites.

Has anyone heard anything about Battlestations for our group?  I have read that a couple of others already know when theirs will be.
