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'm sure you're not the only one!  LOL.. I see you have a brother/sister division 367.  Look at the discussion Ship 3 Div 367.  There's only 2 other moms so far on my ship and div so don't worry about it.

We got our first real letter today!

 

I have a daughter in 3/368. This past Thursday I received an envelope with 6 letters she wrote from 9/13 (the day after she arrived) thru 9/21. Sounds like things are going well. She is good and staying motivated. I can't wait to hear from her this week since they were getting ready to start physical training.
WOW.....6 letters.  That's great.  Good for you! 

Great! Helps to see the changes they are going thru the ups and the downs. My SR has been in the hospital for a few days. We think he is headed back to basics. We are hoping he PIR with his group. We will see. So when they say no news is good news, they are right!

 

Hi! I have a sister in 3/368. I recieved my first letter last wednesday,seems to be doing good. Has anyone got a call?

 

Hi! My daughter is also in 3/368.  I actually spoke with her on 10/5/11 she called about 6pm she sounded very different more grown up.  Actually it was a pretty long phone call i was very surprised it was great to hear her voice.  Her bunkmate was not able to make the call til this past week.

HI everyone, here is an update on the ribbons ;-) For everyone who ordered ribbons to wear to PIR they have all been shipped even the ones that were ordered last night and this morning. You should have them within 2 to 3 days. PIR will be here sooner than you think and I know you are all EXCITED about that :-) If anyone missed out on ordering ribbons and would like to get them please contact me ASAP. I have a very quick turn-around and ship Priority mail so there is still plenty of time to get them to wear to PIR. Just send me a friend request on this site or an email to: uniquememorymakers@yahoo.com    Thanks everyone for making my ribbons a part of your very special event.
My daughter is in ship 3 / div 368:)  I received two phone calls from her today!  I also received a 4 page letter from her yesterday!  I am one happy mom!!!
