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."

haha thank you, you can call me Lissa if you like :) (short for Melissa) I figured it wasn't used so much anymore. I recently made an account to try and chat with some Sub people, my boyfriend (who also graduated the same day, we were in the same division) just left for his first sub patrol, and I'm trying to find as much info on it as possible since I haven't been able to talk to him since he left! :( I also enjoy talking to everyone on here, I don't feel so alone missing a loved one!

I, too, love keeping in touch with you ladies. I belong to the Texas n4m group also. Some nice ladies there but this is more like family. I wish more were involved from his ship but alas.... I still have you ladies.

Read a post in Brat Packs that we were still here. Hi ladies! Yes Sondra I too miss the days when we were all on at once trying to figure out what was going on with our "sailors". My husband didn't understand how I could be on for so many hours just watching the screen to see if there was any new news. lol
Cheers to all of us for helping each other through and continuing to do so. The moms/wives/friends of 10/1/2010 rock the world. Watch out when we have our reunion - nothing stopping us now! lol
