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."

Hi, Moe, My son Josh is in this ship and Div and going for communications, got my first letter out to him today after getting his address yesterday. I feel a little better having an address and his PIR date, I don't know I guess it connects me to him a little more than I was last week. Thanks for starting a discussion group for out div. it will be nice getting to talk to other moms of the same div.

My son is going for Corpsman and will then go Fleet marine Force, so he would be the "doc" with the marines. Wherever the marines go he will go with them and help provide medical care for them. He is hoping once he has a couple years with the marines to go to special forces or something.

I will be bidding on priceline end of next week to reserve the hotel. Since there will be 5 of us we will be driving out there from NH.
Cheryl--from what I have read Josh should be nice and comfortable having his teeth out. However, it is so hard to feel these motherly emotions so far away{{{HUGS HUGS HUGS}} -
