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."

Hello everyone, I have been waiting an eternity to be accepted to this website! My brother is in this ship/div and I have been reading your posts for awhile. He is 11 years younger than me and since my mom passed away has been like my third child! His name is Brandon and he is 19. We are counting down to our flight on the 30th and can hardly believe he is down to his last 2 weeks. I look forward to his phone calls and letters, I just wish there were more of them! We will be flying into O'Hare and any suggestions for the weekend would be helpful!

I'm back.....I missed our little group so much. Now I know how despirate for distraction I really am....8 hours in the sun saddling and unsaddling horses in 98 degrees and 104 in the barn!!! Glad to be back. I have to confess that I escaped once for a few minutes to the AC of my car long enough to read your posts on my phone, but it's a new phone so I don't know how to message out yet........hey, I doing good, I learned how to answer it!!
I was so glad to hear all of your news of calls yeah!!!
I had a wonderful dinner with Carolinagirl125, she is delightful and what a great mom.We shared hugs enough for all of you.

Thanks for the info. Glad we'll be together to cheer the division on.How do you know if you have someone in the front lines? Can I bring my bullhorn? Then I can really embarrass him..LOL....just like the good old days.

at the PIR the seats are sectioned by divisions. someone on one of the other groups said to sit to the right of the number if you have someone in the front lines otherwise sit to the left of the number so you can see everyone else. someone also recommended bringing binoculars to see as well . I was asking about the meet and greet
