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."

I don't think we can mention our Sailors names, but message me and I'll ask my son if he knows your son. There are 55 in this group not sure if that is a average amount in a class.

My daughter arrived Oct. 9th with Sherri's son. she had 1 roomie and 3 headmates but they have all left and now has been alone since last week. This will be fun chatting with a new group of moms.

Hi Roe ~ My sons roommates started class last week. That is great that he has a friend from his division! My son has a few friends around the base that he went to BC with and there is one girl that was in his DEP class that started class the 25th to be an MA!! It is a very small world! So glad I found someone to connect with!

Hi Sherri My son also started this Monday--he arrived on 10/15. I know one roommate classed up about 4 weeks prior and his other roommate was a friend from his division. Would love to chat.

There is a dinner this Thursday evening if anyone is going to the pinning on Friday! You are welcome to join us and have dinner with an Admiral (and some other Navy personnel). Just let me know and I'll get the details to you!
(Sorry, I'm not staying in town for the pinning on Friday)

Miss Suzanne, you are so welcome. We have to be very careful. Most of the time, my Sailor does patrol work, but there are times when he has been doing some stuff that he can't tell anyone about and the same will probably be true of your Sailor. It's best to keep things as private as we can.

Hi Ladies my son's PIR was 10/14 and classed up today. I would like to send him a card, but misplaced the address. Does anyone have the mailing address? Thanks
