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 just want to take a moment to reach out to all of my mom friends..... Make sure all is well and if you may need a encouraging word. My days have been long without my son and I am sure you are feeling the same. I have only written 3 letters and I feel kinda bad for that. 

Well, I just wanted to say that I am thinking of you and keeping your SR in my thoughts. 

God Bless and take care. 

Hugs, Melody

Hello Kirikala! Thanks for the friend request :) Welcome to N4M! I have been going crazy all weekend calling my oldest daughter and their father to find out if THEY got a call from my SR! I have been reading about the 900 division (following lemonelephants's links, bless her heart) and they have less time than the other divisions as they have to learn all the extra stuff. They might not have the time to call us but they are working hard and thinking of us....hugs

Hello.... I hope you had a nice Thanksgiving, I know it is hard not having our SR's but with this site is has been a little easier on me. It is nice to know that we kinda have each other to lean on. Good luck to you and your SR getting through this chapter.... Hugs

The Page, 800 and 900 Divisions, within Boot Camp Moms (and loved ones) will be of interest to you since you have a recruit in a performing division. I believe that Division 910 is Sticks/Flags. I invite you to join Boot Camp Moms (and loved ones) and to check out the other Pages (found under the pictures of the Members) as well.
