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."

SHIP 07 DIV 128 - Reporting for duty!!!
My son is in this division. Is anyone else's?
I received my form letter (but no box) and have sent out my first letter along with that great questionnaire and a SASE. I don't think I'll get 'The Box'. He was pretty adamant about not taking anything he didn't mind giving away. Any word from your children? How are you holding up? I'm doing a lot better than I thought I would. I still can't sleep thru the night, but I'm not crying at the drop of a hat as a was at first.
My son hates writing and reading, so I'm not sure how much I'll hear from him. That's why I found that questionnaire perfect for him. I'm going to look thru the other ones to send him another one later on. Has anyone found any other cool things to include in the letters.
I thought I'd start this discussion to at least find out how the division is doing in case my son doesn't tell me much. I think that if we all share (what we can share, of course), we'll be in the loop. I don't know about you, but just knowing helps keep me at ease. That's why I love this website and I check it everyday.
Share your thoughts!

My brother is in that Division. He just wrote to us that they went into the gas chambers and that he had to have his mask off longer. He said it was "cool" but it doesn't look that cool on video. I hope everyone's sailor did a good job. It looks like a hard process to go through, but it is mandatory and now I just have to wait and see how my boyfriend does. He is also in the Navy (Ship 02 Div 926) and he graduates in May. I am glad our sailor's are almost done. Just counting down the days.

Ladies, we can't post BattleStations dates on N4Moms (against OPSEC) so if you posted a date above, please delete your post. Thanks! But I have that date down on the schedule now. I am keeping a schedule and will send out later to the group.
You can delete a post by clicking on the "x" in the box! Thanks!

If I am one that put down a date please let me know so I can delete it. My apologies if I did and Thank Goodness if I didn't. I did search but either I can't find my posts or I don't post very often.

hey all, im a little late to this N4M, my boyfriend is in this DIV. I had a question that I'm getting mixed answers to, if youre bringing a child under 12, do you need their birth certificate AND SS card, or just one or the other? My son is 3 and I just want to make sure I have everything ready before we leave Thursday.
