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'm so sorry, Lala. I sure hope that they find it....very common occurrence here in the MIA...and no, they usually don't find them....they are stripped pretty quickly, sold for parts or shipped out of the country....ugh....hope you have better results with your son's car.
No one got an I'm a Sailor call today? If not, they must not have gone last night because of Veterans Day but should be going tonight and then tomorrow night.....calls should start coming back in tomorrow afternoon!

My son's car was stolen :( It was an older BMW and had broken down on the road and when he went back for it it was gone. It wasn't towed by any police, troopers or sheriff and he only had liability insurance on it. So sad that some people are so bad.

Did they have make up tests today? I thought I would get a I am a sailor call today.

Thank you so much diannep for your response! You just made my day! I hope so! I was beginning to worry.

skhphotography: You should get a wonderful I'm a Sailor call from your son in the next day or two, so keep that phone close by!

My son is graduating this Friday and I have not heard from him in 2 weeks :( He is in Division 901. Does anyone have any updates on if/when any SR's will be allowed to call home before graduation? This site is extremely comforting for my nerves and I appreciate all of you. Happy Veterans Day!

Ok, someone sent me a friend request asking about a page about Great Lakes and the ships.....when I hit ACCEPT, it wouldn't let me go to her page to reply and I didn't notice the name, didn't know the PIR group. If anyone on here sent that to me, please post here. So sorry about that! I have no way to private message you!

I would like to take this time to thank all of our Veterans and service members currently serving our country and protecting our freedom. I am so proud to call myself a Navy Mom and to know so many military families. Each one of you hold a special place in my heart. Thank you so much for your family members who serve our country and protect us every day. And, thank you for supporting them and for being here to support each other. We are all family now! God Bless you all <3
