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 got my letter this week end and what a welcome sight that was in the mail box. I think it actually took me a minute or two to pick it up. lol  I think I was in shock I was already getting information from my son. I spent the rest of the night on line trying to get the best deal on flights and writing letters to my son. I'm looking forward to chatting with all the wonderful ladies on this site. I think it will make this adjustment that much easier for me.

Hubby and I took my cousin Stephan to report and I had to leave right away so I didn't start the water works. LOL! But I'm very glad to meet all of you!

Hello to NavyFam and AuxLady !!!! two more for our ship 13 div 321 !!!
Okay, I think I've found the right group now. Thanks, Connie for the heads up. BTW - my cousin at 25 is one of the "old heads" in the Div too!
Hey Connie....your little cousin is an old guy at 25 in the DIV....hmmm....my Recruit is 26 !!!! but BTW i don't think it's all that unsual any more. sure most are young'uns but i'm hearing more and more about the 'old guys' too...Lord Have Mercy...how i would love to be 25-26 again....NOT....i've 'earned' every wrinkle. hehehehe
I'm praying for you all as your DIV begin BS on Tuesday. I've been posting our son's response to the whole experience. He said it literally flies by and you don't have time to think about it. Everything they went through really prepared them for BS. I'll have my candle lit for you guys!
