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."

Is anyone else just a little upset that none of this made the news and none of it was televised? Is there some official reason for this, or did no one find it important? If these boys were in trouble with the law it would have been on the TV.

KWL's mom Please go to my personal page and and click on pictures. You should find them there. Please feel free to share with family and friends. I don't believe they will be excluded from viewing the pictures. Also, if you have a face book account please feel free to friend me and the pictures are all on there too. Send me an email and I will give you my face book user name.

I started a notebook with everyone in it. Trying to keep track of where everyone lives, where our soon- to-be-sailors are going, and who's in Cardinal Company, and who's already been through this that can give us newbies advice. How do I find the pictures you've posted, Mom Proud of Danny? Will they be seen only by our group, or can we tell our family and friends where to find them? Huggy, I worked at summer in Winfield. Welcome to the group. Sending hugs and prayers for all the moms and sons. (Girlfriends, dads, and friends should be included, but my heart goes to the moms and sons first!)

We were used to being the home where all the guys met, ate, spent the night playing games. Our house was so empty! And, my first church service--it seemed like all the songs made me thing of our son. Best wishes to all.

I've posted pictures from the game and picnic. Please feel free to look at them. I got some pictures of the Swearing In at the Cardinal game, but since I was 2nd row from the top of the stadium, I couldn't tell where my son was when taking pictures. Hopefully some of you will see one of your sons.

That's what I'll do.
