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."

Hi Lades,
I ordered my son the "Sailors Creed" coin tonight. It should be here by Friday. It's a great looking coin. I thought about getting him the USS Hopper, but...I didn't.
I, too, have not heard from him, in about a week! It was strange going through a whole week without a letter, but I guess I should be thankful. I know it's going to be much harder once he's on the sub.
Take care everyone, and know with great peace...it won't be much longer now!! -

My husband is Ship 03, Div 148. Would be happy to get in touch with anyone with SRs in this division or anyone going to San Antonio for A school!!!!! I plan on attending the Meet & Greet, I will be going solo to the graduation. Judging from other groups, it seems like a lot of people are staying at the Ramada or Navy Lodge- looks like I am the odd one out as I will be staying at Motel 6, anyone else?

We will be at the Ramada. Find us and you can sit with me and my crew. I will have the hubs, our 15 yr old and my SR's twin brother. I can't wait! The Kiddo will be going to Ft. Leonard Wood Missouri for A School. I'm not sure how much time we will have with him after PIR, but we're not leaving until Sunday to drive home.
I can't wait to meet everybody!
