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."

Connie,My son is also Ship13/Div321 and the meeting of his new friends and the families will be GREAT!! Looking forward to it and plan to take some Kodak moments to bring back to Maine and show to his girlfriends family. Oh, she also join'd with him and her PIR is also 09/24/10!!
No lobsters coming with us this time but his new mates are more than welcome to come to Kennebunk and be at home ,if they choose.
The dog will enjoy the company and the cats ,well they'll probably leave a few doa mice on the front walkway, just because that's their jobs. Shore dinners are so easy when you live here and know lobstermen in town. -

well hello to you mkl !! so your son and his g/f both joined and will have PIR on the same day...WOW!!! if the new mates can't make it to Kennebunk you might find me on the doorstep instead...BOY HOWDY this "Southern Girl" loves lobster!!!

my husband said they were all supposed to get phone calls today but you know the military.. they will do as the please, lol. the 45 minute calls MAY take place sunday when they have their "free" time but he wasn't positive that it would be sunday, the 45 minute phone calls are for sure coming though, its a reward for them passing a test!!
