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."

Nothing here in So. Oregon either. :( I am hoping it is because they are keeping our kids EXTRA busy! Since tomorrow is the 3rd Tuesday, maybe we will get telephone calls??? The last day (6/8) doesn't count - it is zero day! Woot Woot!

Roses4bud - just think though about where he is right now and where he will be on Mother's Day - an incredibly proud mom is going to know in her heart that her son is awesome for his willingness to serve in our military! <3

Ship02 Division 930 - I received the dreaded 'Mom, I got set back 2 weeks' call this afternoon. I do not have any details except he was caught fraternizing with a female. My heart goes out to any of you parents if your daughter was the one involved. It is the hardest telephone call to make in their shoes. I had to do it many years ago in BC as well - call my parents and say they couldn't see me PIR since I was set back (not for the same reason). They still came! I will still go to see my son - no matter what date! He was able to say he has received mail from me and he has written. No letter in today's mail so I am keeping my fingers crossed that it is tomorrow. I understand from someone else their daughter said Sunday 4/29 was the first opportunity to write for this Division. I believe my son has learned a valuable lesson today and hope this makes him a stronger person for it. At least I do not have to go through the 'kid in the box' and when will I get that first phone call like his new division Moms! On the flip side, he will have to 'redo' the last two weeks with his new division - hope he doesn't find it boring - now that he knows what those two weeks entail!! Please keep posting how your kids are doing in this division - I am so proud of all of them and will follow you through so I know what to still expect in the weeks ahead. Keeping y'all in my thoughts! ~Lynn

Nick's Mom - So very sorry to hear your news...Hang in there! It is some tough lessons all our kids are learning. It must have been really hard, cause we can't wait to get our call, but we don't want to get that kind of call. Stay strong for you and your son.
