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."

Linda AM-I'm hanging in there. I miss him terribly but, my husband has been great support even though I know he misses him also. Sometimes I just think of him and start crying.
We are in Cleemont. I have not received the form letter yet so, I don't know his division. I hope it comes soon I have many letters already to send.
Thank you for caring and Support to you and everybody I have met here.
Peace!!!

Hey Donna! Welcome! I remember well when he first left to BC - May 3rd 2010 -- are you doin okay? I think I ran around the house in tears the first week-- not expecting it! What part of town are you in? Have you found out his Division yet? You can look for his division on the Boot Camp group when you find out -- a big help!! It is good to share with the other moms and "do something" like the packing parties. As soon as we organize one! Diane is in charge of this group and I believe she's busy with family matters right now -- so hang in there and if you have any questions this is the place for all the answers -- has been a real great support! :)

Hey Candy! I'm in Altamonte Springs (near Bear Lake)!! Congrats to your son! My son is on the USS Ronald Reagan and is an AM.
Forrestsmom -- in order of a group to be "adopted" by Molly's, they must request to be adopted on their web site (Diane, correect me if I'm wrong). You can go on to Mollys and ask Molly about it, too. This way, the package postage is paid for through Pepsi fund --
Okay, so do we have Candy and Forrestsmom committed to a Packing Party sometime in June?
