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."

Hi Salma --- come over to the regular site and see if we can find some ship mates -- ppl are joining each day so that is GREAT! Just not everyone is posting on the regular site - if some one see your 021 or 033 then they might speak up... so dont be a stranger =0)
Good morning Salma, I am ship 12 Div 033 also! How are you doing? Have you received your letter and box yet? I love this site and being able to communicate with other moms! Hope you have a great day!
how many moms in this group got phone calls yesterday??? I did not get one I hope my SR is doing ok.....
:( Becki sorry you did not get one! We got one yesterday afternoon around 5:15pm...My son said his company got to make a phone call because they were doing good, I assumed since we are on the same ship and div that we were in the same company... Guess I was wrong! Hopefully you will get a call next Sunday, my son said that Sundays were there free time....Maybe Lydia knows more???
Call are random and becki - most likely if you did not get a call the your recruit was working or doing watch. They have jobs and also watch.. that happened to me too so dont feel bad.... first calls my Div all got except me.... he was working that afternoon! =0( You will get one ....
Yall - someone started another 033 discussion area... I guess they did not know to click on view all and find this one... so you might want to move over to her site and Ill delete this one.....

Hi Ladies, I do not know if you have a t-shirt or other item for all moms in your shp/div but here is an iron on for you. Can be ironed on light colors. I used these iron ons for isilver satin ribbon that you can sew on a 1/2 yard piece of 60 inch silk to make a scarf.
Lydia,, sometimes i get confused if I am on the right one but I was trying to see if any mom would make me one of those T-shirts .. Ship 12 Div 033 for my sailor.. Should I have step-mom put on it?? I found a really cool poem about a step mom and it has really helped me. Being a step mom has never been hard except for right now... I never did divide my love like that.
Again, you will never know how much of a blessing you are ... thanks for paying it forward..
Renie
Renie - put what ever you want on that shirt and Im sure Proud Step Mom would be GREAT!!!! I dont know if anyone is actually making them though. I think newhorizons is the one to ask about it. your welcome and my pleasure to help!
PIR is Everything and I mean Everything you can imagine as far as what to wear. Mine was in summer and there were some girlfriends and wives in almost nothing at all - to nice suits and ties! I wore nice Jeans and a t-shirt - a bright color that my daughter and I both picked out and told him about so that he could find us in the bleacher ... hahaha boy did he ever find us he said... we wore flourescent green! You guys will need to dress warm that auditorium will be COLD! The doors are huge and open a lot!
