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."

Hey girl!  Just thought I would post for you!  :D
You're awesome!  Thanks soooo much! :) 
Got the letter today PIR 4/8/11....YIPPEE!  My daughter sounded good from the note she wrote.  She said everything was going good just a lot of yelling.  I'm ecstatic! 
YAY!!  We got the form letter yesterday as well!  SO, 4/8/11 it is!  So exciting to finally know a little about what is going on!  :) 
Cool, so glad you got it.  Now we gotta get a real one.  Hope it was more positive than mine was, she's just gotta make it through this next week.  She's gotta get out running. that's her thing, I think she's got this energy all built up.  her spirits are wicked low.  Gotta bombard her with funny letters.
 They should be starting PT this week including running, so maybe that'll help.  I'll be thinking positive for you and your daughter :)
YAY Navysis! :)  I agree totally, we now have something to go on.
So have you found out why your daughter wrote 121/122?  I am real curious. Lil only wrote 121.  Maybe they are two small groups because it would've been too large to put them all in one Div.
I asked her in a letter, I'll have to wait to find out when she writes back.  I talked to her recruiter and he thinks it might be a combined division of a girls and boys group.
Hello! My hubby is in thus division! Miss him terribly!
Welcome proudnvywfe!  Look forward to chatting with you!  When did you get the letter?  When did your husband get to BC? 
we are so happy! we just received our daughters packet and letter. her 4 little lines were to the point. she misses everybody immensely and advised she wants us and all her friends to send her letters. i guess that's their only connection to the outside world . the running joke here at our house is, "I wonder what Ashley is doing?", and we all answer at the same time, "getting yelled at." well, best wishes to everyone and their recruits. good lord willing and the creek doesn't rise we will all meet at Great Lakes on 04/08. Oh ! and by the way she is on Ship 11 Div 122.
