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."

Hello everyone. I noticed that there is no group for Ship 07 Div 35 so I decided to get one started. I hope other love ones will join soon.

I hope everyone is having a good week! I am so excited that we are at the halfway point! So looking forward to the BIG DAY but more so, I am anxiously awaiting to hug my SR again. I know will see how our SR's have "grown into their own" thoughout BC butI have a million dollar question for us as parents. How has this experience changed us? Any thoughts?

I love mail day. :)

me too.  And he's writing more and more each time.  It's great!

 

Hi Everyone,

Finally found this discussion, Thanks jms93mom. I have been waiting for mail this week, have'nt received any yet. Hope to get one. I did get a phone call from him on the 1st. He was also sick, said most of them were. nobody wants to go get checked because they are afraid of falling behind. It really is a shame that we can't use there names. It would be nice to be able to ask them if they knew each other. Finally made reservations for the PIR. I was almost too late. Not much open anymore. We are staying at Residence Inn Gurnee, anyone else? Also VIP to Sarge. Hope to meet some of you there.

 

Cat,
Glad you finally found us! If you want my SRs name, inbox me. I am sure all of our SRs know each other :)

Hello Catcat49

Hello everyone

My Sr said they will be writing on Sundays, Tuesday and Thursdays from now on so we should be seeing more letters coming our way. yay!!!!!!!

Glad to hear this! Got a letter from my SR yesterday, it's so good to know that mail keeps them going :) and I am actually loved more at mail call!

Even though they can write Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays, they only get picked up from them on Sundays and mailed out on Monday.  You will note in your letters the different dates they wrote their letters.

Really? Because I got his letter from Tuesday on Saturday. I got my sunday letter on Wednesday (the normal day).

Guys keep your phones on you. I haven't gotten word in a letter or anything, but 07/033 has been calling today. They called last time our guys did.

We have yet to get a phone call......sure would be nice to hear his voice.
