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."

What an incredible day we had yesterday! I was so caught up in the joy of rushing over when they announced Liberty Call that I forgot to have him introduce us to any of his buddies or their families, but at least many of us met the night before. Nothing in my parental life has been as thrilling as watching him march by. We sat on the lowest bleachers and as soon as they called Liberty my son's fiance (in her yellow dress) flew into their formation and they had a perfect reunion moment I stupidly forgot to capture with my camera! So they were told their Class number, which surprised me, and when I heard it I had another of those reality-check feelings like I had when he first showed me his contract. I am still in awe of what fine young men we have in this Division. So...where does our discussion group go now? It feels like family now, I'd hate to lose touch.

I believe after next Friday's PIR there will be a class page we can "move" over to & be able to families from their brother division who will join our division to become class ---

Welcome Class 2 9 8.

I hope everyone had a wonderful time this weekend? Was it what you expected?

We are getting ready to start setting up the class group. Since it is private, you will have to request to join. It is required that your page be set to private. You can do that by changing your privacy setting to "friends only". Also, those of you who have the ship and division in your profile name, it can be dropped from it.

If anyone has a question, send me private message and I will gladly help.
