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 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

Good Morning Ann-Marie,

I'm stalking the mailbox each day. No letter from my son yet. He is not much of a letter writer either, but hoping and praying i will get one soon. I write to him each day. Just finished one. Keep me updated. Have a Blessed day

Hi, I have a son, Jacob in same ship and division! Nice to meet someone with son in same group. I hope and pray we will hear from them soon. Are you oing to graduation?

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 :)

 

Hey at least you got something right? I wasn't surprised @ the length either and he said he misses my cooking LOL!

I just noticed on your profile that you are from Picayune, MS!  Small world....I work for Applebee's corporate - we are opening a new Applebee's in Picayune on Monday!!  Hope you enjoy!

Wow thats hilarious! Are you gonna be in town here?
