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."

Oh no, parrothdgal!!! That is too funny!!! I still haven't gotten a letter, but when my son called 2 days ago he mentioned that he mailed out letters to a few of us last Saturday, so I'm expecting one!
Hello LeeLee! Seems there are mostly moms of daughters in this division! I know it's an integrated division, but not finding too many sons!! Are you ladies going to the Meet and Greet at the Ramada? I hope to be there. Haven't even booked hotel/air yet! Hope to get to this on the weekend! -

I'll be there! I hope! My SR is having major shin splints! I hope this will not delay her graduation! PRAYER! Hi LeeLee! My SR gave me the name of a SR she has become close with but I don't want to post a name here maybe you could post one letter of a last name? Would that be a problem you think? Maybe just send me an message. I got a Mothersday card that can be recorded in....had my Grandaughter talk into it! Soooooo cute! Mailing it today! I have MAJOR sucking up to do!

Hello! My son's best friend is in Ship 07 Div 187. My son doesn't leave for bootcamp until 11/15/11. His BF is like a son to me also, can't wait to hear from him.

That's so great to hear! Too bad the boys couldn't have started together. My son also has a friend going in, leaves in December. I know they were hoping to go together, but it just didn't work out that way.

A little story to tell... I was a little slow getting out of church today and the Minister of Music's wife came up to me and asked my daughters name. I had put her on the prayer list during Wed nights service for her shin splints. I told her the name and she let my know her son was in the Navy and that she had gone through all of this! It meant so very much to me! I have gotten so much support for my daughter and myself from my church family and from you ladies here! God is GOOD!
Any of you with daughters get make-up requests? I guess they can wear a little @ PIR and for pictures.
