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 am hoping for my form letter tomorrow. Then maybey a little peace and quiet over the weekend. Nite.
Pretty much talkin to myself here, but I am so excited that I don't mind. I got my letter today! Whew, such a sense of relief in those few lines. I think I may actually be able to get some sleep now.
OK so I finally receive the long awaited letter today and my son is Ship12 DIV 036
Davids mom - come and join in the conversations on the PIR site too we would love your input and there is great info that goes on there!
Sounds like they are all doing well. Good to finally hear something.
I am sure it is especially hard on his birthday, but I am sure we will hear more from them soon. Hang in there.
My grandson is in Divn 036. We've only received the form letter, no other letters. We've also only received the initial phone call. We were hopeful we were going to hear from today, but we didn't. Has anyone else in 036 received a letter or "real" phone call?
I did yet a letter on Thursday. But as far as I know there haven't been any Div 036 phone calls yet.
No I also only received the initial phone call and the form letter, I was hoping he would call us yesterday but we're still waiting!!
Hang in there - they should get calls hopefully next week - but maybe their RDCs will let them call on Thanksgiving?? Dont count on it but you never know!!! Mail should start to flow better next weeks too!
Just got his first letter I am so excited!! he is doing good and likes it, food shipmate and all!!!
Yea!
