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 grandson is in the same division. Have you gotten a letter or phone call yet? Saw that some others in different divisions did get calls, this is tough, want to know how he is. Did you make your reservations for PIR yet?

We have received a letter from my son, one for each of us; his fiance received one too. I also read that some divisions were able to make phone calls, I would LOVE to hear my baby's voice. His letters did say that he is doing very good...hard work, but enjoying it. He says that he's looking forward to graduation...that's what keeps him strong. Thank you Jesus.
To gmaof6...We have not made any reservations yet, but we will be doing it this week. Have you? -

Yes, booked Springhill Suites. Looks like the room is set up nicely with a separate area to watch TV and relax. So looking forward to PIR.

My son is in this division. I have received one short letter (he's not much for writing). He said he was fine but it was tougher than he thought it would be. But, he is OK. Still no phone call.

My son is on this ship & div. I have received one letter from him and one phone call, they both came on the same day - December 3rd. It was wonderful to hear from him, it sounds like he will be a grad & go so I won't get to see much of him even if I do make it for PIR. Anyway, he is in the NUKE program so he will be headed to South Carolina....anyone else's Sailor going to SC?

great way to show support for your sailor, to recognize other N4M
members and make a great keepsake. To place an oreder just click on my

so much and Happy New Year!!!! -
