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."

Recgonizing Each Other at Meet & Greet
Hi Ladies,
I had posted about something I read that another Division had done at a recent meet & greet. All the moms wore scarves of the same color so that they would all know to look for the "scarves" to find moms who were from their sons/daughters division and were on this forum. I'm not sure that they ordered these scarves, but just bought them so they could wear them for future use.
I was thinking it might be nice if our group did something similar. If anyone is interested, any ideas on something we could wear to help us identify each other.
Everyday is getting one day closer to the big day. CANNOT wait!!!!!

Hi Moms ~ Ha, would have been helpful if I included how to get the wristbands, eh?
They are only $1.50 each plus .47 to mail 'em. So the total is $1.97.
I was going to put my email here, but that's probably not a safe idea.
So just message me with how many you want with your address.
~ I still wear both of mine - One for each Son... until they come home.
Hugs to all ~ TriziaLee
