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."

Welcome to Your Division!  I hope you will be able to attend the Meet and Greet.  Just to make it fun I hope you will take a little time and design a simple flag to represent your division at the Meet and Greet that will be used to designate your divisional table.  While we will all meet together as a PIR group it will help you find each other as a division as well!  Show your creativity!!   Each division will have some individual issues because each division will be unique.  I hope you find this helpful and fun!!

Hi all,

I too saw the date had changed to Monday as well. Looking forward to hearing her voice again! It's been a long time since I spoke to her!

Gabby - yes, I will be at the meet and greet! I'm looking forward to meeting you all!

And yes, this Florida girl broke down today and bought a coat, hat and gloves!! My blood has thinned out so much since moving here... Inhad to get something especially when I saw the forecast in the 40's. It was quite humorous though, 86 degrees here in Florida and I was trying on winter coats!!

Her is another chuckle for you all... Last Friday, I was contacted regarding my daughters security clearance...the agent wanted to come and interview me at my office.... Now that would be just fine except that on Friday we were all dressed in Halloween costumes!! I was Lucille Ball - the vitametavegimin girl! How funny it was when he interviewed me!! Everyone was saying it was one of those forgotten I Love Lucy episodes!! Ha! At least it will be a fun story to share with my sailor.

Four more days and I am on a plane!! Can't wait!!
Geez I feel so bad about this...what did your recruits write to you...you guys and my 800 divisions...I can't figure it out...I have conflicting info
Regarding the Meet and Greet... I may be bringingna friend along. A dear friend of mine is retired Navy (actually a high school sweetheart) and is still working for the Navy in Great Lakes!! So depending on his schedule - he too, may be joining us. This is going to be an exciting weekend!!!
Bring him on it will be so fun!!
I'd really like to buy wraps instead of coats. I am taking my turtlenecks. I'm sure they're anxious to talk to us too. By Wednesday I'll be crazy with excitement!
No mention which day it was...
Hi everyone,

Somewhere along the many sites and groups I've read, I stumbled across something for us Moms to do while our sailors are doing Battlestations. The site said to light a navy blue candle for them and wishing them the very best.

So, I went over to Yankee Candle and what do I find but a Navy Blue candle called Stars and Stripes! How appropriate was that! So I will be burning my candle brightly tonight and tomorrow (since we can't pinpoint the exact day). Regardless, someone will be doing Battlestations both nightS!

Looking forward to getting there on Thursday!
Please pray for my son. Have we heard anything about 362?
not a word from this Div 362 mom! I'm praying for everybody!
I got a letter today .. they are definitely doing Battlestations tonight. Light your candles!!

Hello all, especially Lynn. 

Lynn, I received a request of some sort to correct my profile.  All in all, I have not figured out how to do that so I gave up.  Also, as my sailor graduated on November 5th, I have missed the constant communications with you and the other moms.  Therefore, I am unsure how to get back to the first and former communiques.  I'm so confused.  Always good to hear from you and thank you for your work with N4M.  I greatly appreciate your being available.  Happy Holidays and I look forward to reading more.
