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?

That makes me feel better, I thought it was just me! I thought I was doing pretty well, but when I didn't get a letter, I kind of lost it for a minute. -

You all should get your letters today! Somebody posted that they always got letters on Thursdays and it seemed like everyone else was getting them on Wednesdays! My SR wrote that he has made a few good friends in our division, gave me last names (I think)...maybe one of them is your SR!

I got two letters today! Both were two pages and front and back. They were from the 20th and the 21st. He also said something about training days which I was a little confused about. Does anyone know what training day they're on right now?
