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 know--it's been tough for them all--however--3 weeks should seem like nothing compared to the last 6 weeks! Here's to a fast 3 weeks and may they go fast & smooth for our SR's!

Where will the meet and greet occur? What time? Our son is ship 7 U.S.S. Chicago Division 364. He is going to be a dental technician. We are late at joining so we are kind of behind. Sorry.

Good Morning everyone...we are getting close to our PIR and I wanted to know if anyone isnt using all 4 of their spots for their family? I would like to have two extra names for my SR grandparents and our 4 spots are already spoken for. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

HI IndianaMom...ask your Sailor to find extra tickets. My son was able to get tickets from one of his friends for his Grandma and Aunt to attend.

I've been writing him asking him to do this, but he is a bit shy, so he hasnt asked anyone. Did you get a call yesterday? I missed his call (2x!!) had my cell on vibrate & didnt hear it. He was able to reach my husband on his cell so at least he spoke to one of us. Still homesick but glad the end is near. Fire fighting training this week (I think) so probably Battlestations next week? He said they havent done much for the past couple of days

YES! I got my phone call! It was so nice to hear his voice....especially since MY phone was on vibrate the first time! I started screaming when I saw the 847! Best three numbers I have ever seen! He sounded so good and he says that he is doing fine. He says that he feels like he has grown up a lot, and that for the first time ever...he misses his family:) I felt so much better after that call! We are so excited about graduation.
Don't worry to much about the tickets...they say that they let people in at the door after the ticketed people. I have a feeling your family will get in. -

Hi everyone. I am glad I was able to find this website. I am really excited to see my daughter soon. I also missed her call the other day and I felt awful. I was hoping she would be able to call back again but I have not heard from her. I did receive a letter and she sounds great. Hope to meet everyone soon.

Welcome Mari...my son is going on to San Antonio for A School for MA. How about your daughter? I was so disappointed I missed his call last week, but the phone will not be away from my side this Friday!!

I totally agree... My phone has been right by my side now... I still have not heard from my daughter. :( The last time her and I spoke she thought she would be staying in GL for A school. I am hoping that is the case so we will have more time to spend with her after graduation. :)
