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 all fellow shipmothers, girlfriends, best friends, aunties, grammas, sisters, etc...

Just wondering who is in the same ship and division as my son.  I live in Wisconsin and will be staying at the Navy Lodge for the PIR ceremony. 

My son will be going to Groton after PIR.  I haven't gotten a phone call from him yet but am excited to hear from him. 

 

YOU?

no letter, beginning to think that we are never going to get one.

no letter for me either yet! maybe tomorrow!!

not much chatter in our little group today...whats been keeping you all busy today? We spent the day plowing friends and relatives driveways, babysitting our little grand-girl, then we went to dinner.  Miss you all today!

I'm disappointed about no letter this week lol but I'm hoping we all definitely get one next week! 

No letter as of yet hoping soon.

Crossing my fingers...I am hoping that in the next few days we will all get a letter.  They should be in the outgoing mail this morning - provided they earned privelages this past week!  If not, I say, lets find the trouble makers and rough them up!!!! LOL (my luck it would be my SR)!!

haha I HOPE they got to send letter out this morning. I don't know if I can handle another week of no contact!! I'm hoping they have started to get our mail, too!

I hear ya Jackie...my son is a prankster, he better be keeping that s&^% to himself until I get a letter!!!!

I wonder what they would do if the bunch of us stormed the gate!!!!

I am ready ....I just want to hear from him through a call or letter!

If we dont get a letter this week I think we should LOL!

I wish I wasn't going to be in class. lol actually now that I think of it.. I will probably be on fb on my cellphone trying to win !! lol
