OPSEC - Navy Operations Security

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 Marla.rae,
I have a daughter in this group to. I'm happy to learn that there are several ladies in the group. I'm not sure how many women are in this group, but I'm glad to hear of a few others!

I'm pretty sure Miss G has a daughter also. you may want to look up name and confirm and then leave her a message.. I'm glad they broke this down even further it makes figuring out who's training with my son so much easier. I hope they are making friends within division. I try and tell my son been talking with so and so's mom. Do you know her/him. My son's name is Ian he's 19 from Virginia and will be heading down to S.C for nuke school for his A school. Hope all are doing well; waiting for that 1st letter now.

Our son is 12/167, Dad part of the family here, but his mom drops in here as well. Still moving forward with the premise that "no news is good news." We got the box and form letter, just waiting on mail now.

That was my thought 1proudmama, he is probably going to have my luck when it comes to work related issues. Every job I have had since turning 17, has required me to be on call. If it's extra work, I somehow end up with the short end of the stick. Like I have often told my son, on my way out the door, in the wee hours of the morning, or on holidays, or weekends, it builds character and work ethic. Perhaps he is beginning to get a little taste of that as well.

Check mailboxes (like you don't already), I didn't receive one yet, but someone that lives 5 hours from base got one today. She works but her mother let her know letter was in mailbox. Hoping you all get one today or tomorrow. Those that do receive letter please share any scraps of info you feel comfortable sharing with group. Can't wait till tomorrow! Good luck to those that live close by.
