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."

Welcome to the new ladies! This site has definitely been a God send for me. I've been receiving my letters on Wednesday so I've got my fingers crossed that I'll get mail today. I'm glad the guys are having some fun. I know this was going to be a tough week for them so I hope they are all doing well.

Here you all are!!! I have been looking for you!! :-) My son is in SHIP 3 DIV 233!!! I just got here but I am going to read "backwards" through all of the posts. He left with a girl and a guy from Omaha May 11th. He seems to be doing good but I haven't talked to him!! My husband has quite a few times but Saturday morning I was in water aerobics and for the first time left my phone in my locker (who would've thought he'd call Saturday morning!!) I cried when I saw I missed yet another call. I am glad that his dad has always been there to get the calls so he got to talk to someone!! But still, I am his mom, I miss him more!!

Welcome i3randie, glad to have you. We have a wonderful group of great ladies. As far as things to do, I have started a kind of database on my page in the blog with everyone's info and at the bottom I have saved weekend suggestions and restaurants, I will send you a friend request so you can see it. Again welcome, your brother is very fortunate to have such a concerned and caring sister.
Carolinagirl: I got your VM, thanks for your concern, I'm good. After a very long day we actually got the chance to try out a new restaurant that I've had my eye on and had a real date night with my hubby, first one since last year when my daughter went to camp!! It looks like we may have even gotten our page back.......
