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."

My son called tonight which totally through me for a loop!! i don't think my stomach could have dumped any further!!! All he wanted was his bank account routing # & acct # from the account at home here he left for me to pay his car payment. He didn't say much except that he was pressed for time & needed it asap.......now I'm really rattled. We set it up so that his money would be going into the navy federal acct. i wonder why they wanted it??? UUGGGG!!!!

Dont worry they are probably setting up his direct deposit and he evidently wanted in that account insteadof the navy one he shouldve taken a bank slip with him but probably didnt know ... but nice you got to hear his voice :)

Argh! Another 121, so close yet so far. Check a few pages back for a Neave81, I believe she has a daughter in S11/D121. Only 7 weeks and 1 day left!

Thanks for letting Darla know, you can get around this sight better than I. I'm not very good at getting around, but you are all very helpful:) thanks.

LOL, not really, I just miss my son so much I read every comment on this one and remembered those that were close to 122 :) It is a difficult site to get around on, so much information!! I'm just glad I could hook a couple up who have loved ones in the same S&D. Hope I find one soon!

Hi Darla, yep my daughter is ship 11 div 121. She actually called my cell today, but I was in a "no phone" meeting...I was so bummed. She needed some contact info. and finally got a hold of my husband. She said it was really hard...more than she expected. I think this first couple of weeks must be super tough. Would be glad to talk, although I really am having a hard time navigating this sight. Guess I'm not that great at forums. Have you heard from your son, your box or letter?
-
-
yes i have received the box and the letter yeah...i was so excited sorry for getting back to you so late....my husband and i have literally been racing to the mailbox... did you receive a letter about graduation my son sent a letter stating a april 8th graduation? i'm hoping we can find a lot of others with that division number so we can stick together...

Oh yeah, and navygirlI88 also is showing S11/D121
