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 just received my daughter's address.  Does anyone else have someone in this group?  All I have so far is the address, I have not received a letter or box in the mail, as of yet.

Hi all, sorry I haven't been on here sooner.  I have just been really busy with the holiday and all.  My daughter did get to call home on Christmas Eve, best present in the world.  She sounded so great and excited, could not wait to tell me she made group leader.  She is missing us all and wanted me to send her some study materials (post it notes, highlighters, index cards, etc.).  We still have yet to receive any letters in the mail.  I am hoping today is the day!  I just really miss her and I am so proud of her!

My daughter is in this divison as well.  She has called home twice and we have received 4 letters.  She said in one of her letters that she is a section leader and her bunk mate was from Philly.  Is your loved one from Philly?  She sounded so great on the phone, full of energy and excited about all that she had going on at bootcamp.  She also said the worst thing was being away from all of us.  Apparently she has been thinking about it because, she started crying and said Mommy you know you and I have never been apart more than 5 days in my whole life.  I know it is killing me and I have our family to get me through this, I can't image how hard it is for her.  She is however very adaptable to new things and very focused when it comes to her Navy life.  A real Leader!!!!  I am so proud of her for doing this.  I can't wait for February 18th to get here.  I saw where another division is having everyone (women) wear a pink scarf to PIR so that they will recognize one another.  Would you guys like to do the same thing, just a different color?  Maybe RED!!!  It will look great in the pics that day!!  LOL!!!  I am sooooo glad to see someone else from Div. 085!!!!  Looking forward to the weeks ahead with you guys and encouraging each other through the rough spots! 

 

Mamma-K  (this is the nickname all the kids, mine and their friends, call me at home.  If you tell your SR that, they will find my daughter, she is 5'3" dark brown hair, and the only one with the SOUTHERN ACCENT!!!!)  She said they all pick on her about the accent in good fun, she loves it ~!  LOL!!!
