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."

We don't want to accidentally overlook any of them or you.
Hang in there!!!

My daughter is in Div 017. I received the form letter yesterday. I received a phone call from her this afternoon, regarding info she needed for her Security Clearance. She will be headed to Florida for "A School".

Hi there - my girl Katie is Div 017 also, but no call yet. I think she's probably going to Pensacola for A School. We're near Orlando so hope that means we can visit a couple of times. What is your daughter's name?

Hi everyone!! This is Theona, I am temporarily borrowing my mother in laws account. My husband is in Division 018! I've been patiently waiting by the mailbox and have yet to receive a letter from him! Has anyone received a hand written letter yet?
He let me know that he wouldn't be able to call for 3 weeks, but the third week will be this upcoming week, so I assume that I should receive a call sometime between Thursday and Sunday. My fingers are crossed because I don't know how much longer I can take not hearing anything from him!
We arrive in Chicago for Graduation on Tuesday and would love to make it to a meet and greet as well... I am looking forward to meeting all of the proud families and being able to communicate with different individuals who are going through exactly what I am going through!
It's been a tough couple of weeks... I am looking so forward to finally hearing SOMETHING from him. This lack of communication is definitely harder than anyone could have expected.
I hope you all are hanging in there! My thoughts and prayers go out to each and every one of you! :)

My girl is Ship 03 Div 017. No call, only the box and the form letter so far. Dying for a phone call. What Meet & Greet is everyone attending? And can the whole family go? My husband, son and my mom are flying up from Orlando on Tues morning. Would like to do a Meet & Greet that we can all go to.

Hi KatiesMom, I'm Nicole's Mom. May daughter is on Ship 03 Div 017 on the USS Hopper. I am flying out of Portland Oregon arriving early afternoon (Nov 20). I think I'm going to attend the one at the Ramada. I feel lost already and I haven't even arrived!
