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."

Has anyone ordered Div T-shirts? If so, from where? I've seen a couple of sites floating around,. Just wondering where you may have got them. It would be great, if we had quite a few from our division...

I havnt ordered, maybe some vet moms could tell us when a good time to order is and from where

Tabitha, I am a navy vet, it is not the Navy i was in,  The war on terror has upped the anty for all services.  Terror threats lurk everywhere.  They train very hard both mentally and physcally.  There are some great links on here that will give you an idea of what they are going through, you should check them out.  Sending good wishes and happy thoughts to all our SR. 

My daughter is also in the same ship and division, supporting her from Philly!

Hi symantha, rant away.  this is a hard time for all of us, you even more.  Its hard to be away from a spouse, with my son yes i miss him, but i have a husband and other kids to worry about also.  Just keep yourself busy and the time will fly.  Keep posting.  Where do you live?  how old is your son?  tell us a little about yourself.  are you going to graduation?

Just keep doing what your doing.  Let him send his letters, it will be over soon and you will be together.  Kids are very adaptable, your son will be fine.  Keep talkin about daddy and keep on smilin!!!  If you need anything let me know.

To my new friends.. I am leaving in the am to spend the last few hours/days with my dad, and will have very limited access to N4M. Right now I have 102 emails and cant even get caught up. If there is any info that you  think I should know, please email me. I hate having to miss all the great posts. I just hope when I get back, I can get caught up with ya all. I am on FB.. Marcy Locke, I will be checking that as often as I can while at the hospital w/ my dad. Ya'all are awesome.. and I am thankful and look forward to meeting you at PIR. 48 Days and counting.woohoo!!

Marcy, i hope everything is ok with your dad.  sorry you have so much to worry about right know.  I will have you in my prayers.  let us know if everything is ok or if i can do anything for you.
