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."

I received a bonus call from my son today because he needed some additional information for his job. He is Div 305 and he said today is 1-1 if you are following along! He also said they were told the chapel will be open for extra guests on PIR day!

Connorsmom, I got a phone call early this morning because my husband needed an address. Two hours later I got another phone call from him and was able to talk for a while. He told me the same thing about the chapel. When did your son leave for bootcamp? I don't think we can post specifics, but I wonder if your son and my husband are going to have the same job and that's why we got the bonus call. I don't think that is a normal thing?! But boy am I grateful for it!

Wow two calls! Lucky girl! My son left on 7/20. Definitely sounds like they could have the same job.

My SR called this morning looking for contact info for our neighbors, who we say hi to and help them out when they need it, but i never call them we just knock on their door and they wanted their phone number. They are both at work can i call the number back that my SR called from once one of them comes home from work?
It was nice to talk to my SR he sounded pretty good.

Anna, not sure if your following this yet, but when I talked to my husband today I told him about this site and said I had already "met" a few moms and significant others from his division. He thought I was kidding and then went on to say he met a guy before bed last night and they talked about how he was engaged! Made me wonder if it was your fiancé :D

I am so glad I found this group! I am in 2 PIR groups on Facebook but not one single person in them is in Div 305. I was feeling kind of lonely in there. LOL How many of you are going to Sarge's Meet and Greet on 9/10?
