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."

My son is on ship 12 division 003, is there anyone else on this ship

My son is also on ship 12 div 003.  Got my first real letter yesterday (not the form letter).  Also received a phone call from him last Saturday.  Have you heard from your son?

My daughter in law received a phone call last Saturday and a letter this week. I was hoping he would call today also. I told his wife he better call his mother too. Lol
Yes, I also got a phone call last Saturdy and my first real letter yesterday.
He sounded tired but positive.

My son is on Ship 12 div 003, and I also got the phone call last saturday and my letter came on Friday, but no call today.  I belong to the facebook PIR 11-15-13 and most of the moms and other loved ones from div 004 got phone calls today...at least as far as I could tell.  Since they are brother divisions they must rotate weeks, so I guess I can stop taking the phone to the powder room...for now :) 

Not sure, My SR is in Div 004 and I didn't get a call today, neither did another mom I've been in contact with (same Div) do you know who got calls? I'm a member of the FB page too and didn't see any. Haven't got any letters yet either.

Hummm, I could have sworn I saw div 004 getting calls on saturday...maybe I was wrong :( sorry.  It looks like it was ship 13 getting a lot of calls. 

MY son is also on Ship12 div 003. I haven't hear from him since last Wednesday with a [hone call and last Thurs with a letter. No word from his this week.

Has anyone in our divisions gotten a phone call today
None today, but in his letter that I received on Thursday, he said he could call every 2 weeks. I got my first call last Saturday. So I was hoping to talk to him next weekend. He said it could be next Saturday or Sunday.
I have not. My son said they get to make phone calls every other week so I wasn't expecting one today but I would like to know if anyone else receives one.
