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."

Robsproudmom: Great idea- I would buy 10 if you do decide to go through with that.

I love the idea of silicone bands. I'd probably want 5 or 6.

Docsangel I am hoping too that you get a letter soon. I didn't get a letter from my son last week either and was glad I at least got to hear some things about the division from you great ladies here. You also mentioned something about trying to do ribbons for the moms i found a sight for the silicone bands and thought it might be a nice thing to do I can get 150 bands for 83.00 express shipped .
they would read SHIP 3 DIVISION 233 (FRONT)
01 JULY 2010 (BACK)
ANY THOUGHTS ON THESE WOULD BE GREAT

docsangel, dont be discouraged that you havenot recieved a letter yet, your son is probably very busy being that he is a PO, Im surpised that we got a call on Saturday,after recieving two on Thursday. The time you all will spend together at PIR will be that much sweeter! My sailor is a section leader and he speaks of having it harder. Our time is "short" were almost there!!!!!!

You know I've been on this site for a while and I think it is really amazing that so many people have their username or screen name associated with their loved one and are showing so much support and love, honor and respect for these brave sailors- it is just wonderful. It really feels awesome to see how all of you support your loved ones even through something small like your usernames. :)

You still haven't gotten a letter? I'm sorry Docsangel. If I get one today I'll make sure to share.

I am soooo excited reading all of your posts, I get almost giddy reading all of your news since I still have not gotten a word from my son but having all of you makes it OK. Thank you so much for sharing yours.
