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."

It sounds similar to what my daughter put in her letter......she said there was a lot of yelling, but she was good! That made me relieved :)

Thanks for directing me this group. Still none from 122 :(
On the upside, at least now I have an address to send letters to. I can't believe how much of a relief it was to receive his form letter. The lack of communication was driving me crazy! I can't wait until he graduates so I can text him again :)

I'm happy everyone has received their letters. I'm also happy this ship and division has grown. Can't wait to start receiving the letters from our SR's and our phone calls. Talk to ya all soon:)

Speaking of weather, this weekend I put together some newspaper articles that I had clipped last week to send for my sister to read...just things that I knew would interest her and my mom said that it was pretty mean that I put this weeks weather forcast front and center on the first page! HA!

That's funny, cause it's cold in GL. Have to throw humor in it keep the mood light, I love it ! I was going to send a photo collage of all of my daughter's favorite places to eat :)

Yes, the humor helps us get thru some days! And she knows all too well that I'm going to be the first one to pick at her! That's a great idea too! Just might have to steal that one! :)

I think she'll get a kick out of it. I've been trying to come up with things to send her without being boring. Things that really have the feel of home. Someone posted on the group the SR get a few free hours today to do leisure activities including writing letter, can't wait! We'll probably start getting some things by the end of the week!

I sure hope so! Can't wait to start hearing from them! I'm so curious to know what's been going on and how she is holding up!

Me too! I'm real curious about the PT and if the girls know each other.

my daughter's fiance is in ship 11 div 121. There was a link on here somewhere to make your hotel reservations - does anyone know where that is? I can't seem to locate it now. We are driving up and his parents are going too. we are leaving a day before they do so we can stop on the way and rest. We are driving in from Alabama. Anyone know where a safe place to stop about half way? Neither of us have ever been out of the south (well I have but my husband was with me)!
