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."

Thanks for this fb page! My step son has written us once and we have heard "some" from his mom, but we don't communicate well with her. He sounds excited, but we have such little info and reading what other people were posting on fb helped give us an idea of what was going on. Thanks again.

My son is in ship 4 division 287. I am so proud of him and can't wait to see him on the 12th. He sounds good overall I can tell that he has matured and he states often that he is ready for PIR. I hope that all of your SR are doing well.

This morning I watched a bit of the PIR for the divisions that went this week. It was so exciting to know that next week that is us! I can hardly contain my excitement and I am so anxious to see my Sailor! I hope that all doing BS 21 are doing great and that when 287 and 288 get their turn it is great for them as well. ONE MORE WEEK!! Three work days for me next week! So exciting and glad we all made it! Have a great weekend!
