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."

Information
As our recruits get furthur into bootcamp I thought that maybe some of the Moms in Division 818 PIR 9/2 would like to get more specific information. I'm brand new at this but thought I'd try and maybe some more knowledgable Mom's will help us.

Kelly-the ship is only for a short time so they are not aurhorizing anyone leave (vacation time) because they are preparing for deployment.

What a day.. No word today. But I haven't lost it.. I know he will write when he can. My nephew did get a letter on Monday. I haven't opened it. It is killing me to know what it says. I have his words right in front of me and cant open it. I told my nephew to come over soon.. Sept 1 here we come. Days are moving pretty quickly. I have been just so busy lately. Several familys have mentioned that they got a letter from my sailor.. lol Nite ladies.. I am going to read the comments and catch up.

Everyone - per privacy requests, I have totally removed the contract information discussion forum. Following along those lines, we may want to watch the information we write in our comments. This is not a secure site & we can't be too careful. Just a thought. Good night prayers to our boys & families.

Andrew's Support, Yes you will have us to keep you company! My husband & I will be there til 9/6, how long are you staying out there?

Richsmom-so funny about you changing your name on facebook. We have traveled for the last 20 years and it has been fun connecting with people we were stationed with at our first duty station. They would never have found me if I would have changed my name. You can set the privacy setting to really strict where they have to view any portion of your page.

Andrew's Support, Ok, so your husband is home for a few weeks but does not have leave...how does that work?
