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."

Yep, I'm a little concerned about the 'cooler temps' and 'comfort levels.' A California gal here. Pack a blanket to sit on in the bleachers. Yes, hat(s) and gloves are packed along with heavy stocking-tights and knee socks. Very excited!!

Great idea...blanket for bleachers. Have to find a thin one(which sort of defeats the purpose) but you know how those airlines are about suitcase weight....What part of cali you from?

Yay Gabby! My Ship, My Division! I think you and I are the only ones from Ship 11 Div 362 that communicate. It' been rare with others of the same; leads me to believe that our sailors are doing well = No News is Good News. Oh, I'm in Sacramento CA. How 'bout yoursef? Another sialor hint: bring a [white] towel for them to sit on to avoid any mishaps with their required meticulousness. I read this somewhere amid past details. Lots of little hints on back pages of Navy4Moms, 11/05, I think it was.

My son is in the same division! I'm here. I am literally sitting by the phone wishing it would ring. I'm with you that no news is good news but hearing his voice would be great right now. That was good news I read on here about the Captain's Cup!

Hey guys...me too.Waited all afternoon by the phone hoping for a call...she told me in her letter I rec'd Thurs that they would probably be calling Sunday afternoon. Oh well...maybe they changed things when they switched our 2 divisions with the 824/825 SpecOps divisions for BS21. I'm just speculating here...
Andrea Roth-Love Sacramento...flew in there July "08 for annual girlfriend trip-we stayed in Lake Tahoe. Spent some time down by the river while waiting for girlfriend coming in latefrom North Carolina...Ya'll have some quaint shops down there and we had a great time cept it wa HOT. I wasn't expecting that. You see, I live in Houston and was trying to get away from the heat...lol. You are so lucky...living near Tahoe, wine country and San Fran. Just love northern California. My husband and I along with one of my girlfriend's and her hubby are coming out there in May to spend a week in Guereville on Russian River and a week at South Lake Tahoe. Can't wait! Sorry to be so chatty... -

No, no phone call - for the lase two Sundays. Gabby, I like your positive thinking. Yes, we love Sacramento County. Comparable to be beloved chilhood memories of growing up in Massachusetts. HOWEVER, not quite as much snow. We are a 1.5 drive from Lake Tahoe.

My daughter is in the same division as well! Sat by the phone but thought about it. If they have battle stations tonight/tomorrow they are probably gearing up for it. Maybe we will hear from them tomorrow when it's all over!
Keep the faith moms! They are working real hard! -
