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."

Hello My son on the same ship/div. We are from South Texas. This is our first time and pretty difficult for me, but hanging in there, emotional roller coaster pretty much.

I agree... very emotional time... My son is on the same ship and brother Division 310, I haven't received anything more than what you have. I was told that today (Sunday) they could write their first letter. Not really a letter but another form letter where they basically write one or two words. Looking very forward for Sept. 28th!

Hi! My son Brad is in the same Ship & Division. Wonder if they have met? This is my 1st time through and it's been tough. I just got my 1st letter today and sounds like he's homesick. Cried. It does get better, right? Now just waiting for the form letter.

Hi ladies!!!
I am closing this discussion group as a there is already a discussion for this division and brother division.
No worries, its just that us "veteran" moms cannot get to the discussion groups as often as we like, and we don't want to miss something.
Every single question that is asked is important
Every single concern is genuine
Every single member is important to us
We don't want to accidentally overlook any of them or you. -
