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 PIR 11/20/2009 : )
Before my son became an SR, I had the support of a very special person. She answered so many questions. She did not sugar coat a thing. She knew BC would be tough. She knew I would miss my son terribly. She reminded me of the pride I have now and how proud I will be when I see him at Pass-In-Review. I lost my friend to cancer yesterday. She was a Navy Mom and a wonderful volunteer that brought many smiles to veterans at the Cleveland VA Medical Center (Wade & Brecksville). She would want me to pull up my boot straps and get back into the thick of things!
Today is Day 6 Week 5 : ) ~ kk

chaeladiane ~ I am giving myself a "time out" from N4Ms for a few days. I am not being as strong as my son is right now. Again, I am sorry to have made you feel bad. ~kk

I;m sure that it has been a great comfort to your daughter to be able to hear your voice. It is something I would have done too.

Sorry chaeladiane...I should have kept my words off the screen.

Sorry, Chaeladiane, nothing against Beth. They all will learn together and be stronger for it.

My recuit did mention the card. and reiterated that none should be sent. Very tired of the units extra IT.

chaeladiane ~ Oh! Oh! Musical cards are a no - no. : ( Can you imagine climbing in bed and then having to get "beat" ( lots of IT)? I have heard stories of IT until the battery wears out it will be interesting to read if any N4Ms get letters about the "voice card" in Ship 07 Div 005. ~ LOL

Division 005 got phone calls. Just finished talking to my daughter, they earned their first flag for getting a group total of 4.1 on their academic test on Monday. My daughter who is the division EPO said that they really need to start working together, she is tired of IT.
