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 7/ Division 162
Hi All:
My son is in this division. I've only found 2 other moms on N4M with SR's in our group. Are there more of us out there?? Has anyone gotten any mail other than the form letter? Not really expecting mail too soon - especially since my son is not much of a letter writer. Looking forward to meeting everyone on 5/25. Add me as a friend - especially if you have a loved one in my son's division! Ann-Marie

Hi Ann-Marie! My daughter is in Div 162 as well. She left Kansas City on 3/27. I haven't heard her sweet voice in written or verbal form since that day 17 days ago! I hope to get a call or my first letter soon! I too stalk my mailbox - my mailman probably thinks I'm waiting on my tax refund! I've written to her everyday since the day she left (her recruiter gave me her address the day after). I look forward to seeing you at PIR and talking more on N4M! Godspeed to our SR's! Andrea

My son is in this division. My 2nd Navy recruit - they should give me a referral reward LOL! He's not much on letter writing either. I think he said maybe 3 lines :)
