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."

Hello! We are from Ohio and we will be headed to Great Lakes to spend Christmas day with our son, Nick. We are adopting a sailor (Joshua) from this division to go with us. Do any of you know him? We want him to feel at home and bring him something he will enjoy if we can. Please respond if you may know who we are talking about. Thank you and we know all of you are looking forward to graduation!

What division is your son in?  My SR is in Div 048.  I didn't know that we could have adopted our SR for Christmas.  Wish I would have known, his birthday is the 28th of December.  I can't wait until graduation to see my SR.  It's harder than I thought.  I haven't spoken to him in almost 3 weeks but I have received 2 letters from him and he did state in his letters that he probably wouldn't be able to call until near graduation.   I am hoping that he will be able to spend time away from the base on Christmas. 

I have the same issue. My sailor is in Div 043 and we are also adopting a second sailor named Nick. I was wondering what I could get him, so he will also have a present to open on Christmas.

My son is in 045, he sent me the adopt a sailor form, and there was a place to adopt a second sailor, we live 7 hours from Chicago, but we are going, we haven't talked to him since Nov 26, and haven't received a letter for a week. He said he was almost out of paper.

My sailor is in DIV 043 but he called and left a voice message saying to refax the paper writing ," No sailor is coming". Does this mean what it sounds like? Will I not be able to adopt him nor his shipmate?
