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 Your Division!  I hope you will be able to attend the Meet and Greet.  Just to make it fun I hope you will take a little time and design a simple flag to represent your division at the Meet and Greet that will be used to designate your divisional table.  While we will all meet together as a PIR group it will help you find each other as a division as well!  Show your creativity!!   Each division will have some individual issues because each division will be unique.  I hope you find this discussion helpful and fun!!

I am kind of stressed, mailed Ryan 3 more letters today. I am tired and miss Ryan. Does anyone in this division live in Arizona? I cant remember.
thanks
Diana
Hang in there Diana..that is how I felt yesterday...and then that phone call came and I feel rejuvenated and refueled...your time will come....I know you are tired....as mom's this is bootcamp hell for us too, in a different way...keep on writing, keep the faith, and this too shall pass!!
I am worried because of one thing he said in his letter. and of course it just takes one thing and of course I read everything into it. my husband says not to worrry, but I worry. that is my job.
Hey Diana! I'm still here too! :P How did you like that hail storm on Tuesday? Scott called me right after it ended when I was outside playing in the puddles and checking the cars for damage, it was so nice to hear from him. Thank goodness he's doing well. How is Ryan doing?
Diana, of course you worry ,I dont know what your said in his letter to cause you such heart ache but remember that he is not alone and someone in that division knows whatever it is that is going on with him I think that the guys will pull together as a team and they wont let each other fail.That is their mission now to come together as one! Ill keep you both in my prayers.
Thanks I talked with my husband and some friends from church who know my son and they said he will do fine, he is a great runner and swimmer. But I still worry. I am sure they will all work together so they can make it.
Just wondering if anyone in S7/Div 364 has received phone calls yet? I got a letter last week but still waiting for that first phone call.
Thanks Marianne, I hope your son is doing well. Maybe they'll all be able to make phone calls this week.
Hi all--I got a letter on Thursday, but haven't gotten any phone calls. He said he didn't pass push ups, but that it was just the preliminary. He was really happy to get the letters that I've written amd that makes me feel real good. I know he is alittle homesick. My brother got a letter today and I can't wait to hear what Alex had to say! Made resevations today for La Quinta- Anyone else staying there. I can't wait to see Alex!
It's a good thing they have plenty of time to pass these PT tests. My son is having a hard time passing the mile and half run. I have reservations at the Red Carpet Inn.
I think I might be staying at the same one. The one I'm at is right beside a Walmart. Its right beside Belvidere Rd.
We are staying at Motel 6, flying into Milwaukee on the 3rd. Husband needs a day to recoup from traveling. He doesnt do well flying and we have never flied this far before. Right now I am trying to decide how to rent a car.
