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 02, Div 911 -- Roll Call!!! ;o)

Hello All and a very MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! I hadn't seen a group formed yet for our ship, so I thought I would start one (Ship 02, Div 911 - USS Reuben James (PIR Feb 4, 2011)) so we all can be in touch! We have a special connection with band, choir, and drill team!  It will be great to share our experiences, stories and plans to meet up for PIR in Feb!  I'm a new Navy mom, and missing my daughter greatly right about now (as I am sure we all are missing our loved ones!), but am so very proud.  Let's chat!

hey gals i am so happy for everyone..  well thanks to you all i do believe we have found our SR.. we were unsure until you all pointed out your SR's. THEN we knew for sure that this group was definitely our 911 group.  we are pretty sure the trombone player on the front row, end,  left side of your screen is my daughters fiance.

thank so much... yep we do believe that's him. his mom agrees..He said he is in the front row  

I guess from what he has said he and another guy are in the 2 leadership position in the 911 group..

which makes us so proud.

my daughter is on pins and needles.. she is counting down the days, hours, minutes and seconds.  the weather is putting a little bit of worry into my heart about her and her fiance's family long 6 hour drive there. needless to say i will be just as anxious as you all for this day to come just so i know her and my soon to be granddaughter will have made it there safely.  May you all have a safe journey. my daughter is supposed to be recording it and taking pictures and i will be happy to post or send any to any of you gals. If its not too much trouble would anyone mind doing the same for me?  man i wish i could be there to cheer them all on..

Gina...I'd be happy to pass along whatever I get by way of pics! In fact, it would be great if we could all share with each other since we ask may get different shots/videos...it'll be a more complete package! ;o)
