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, my son is on ship 9 Div 130...I wonder how that works. Maybe they know each other. My son's name is Dean and he is 18, my first child leaving the house. I'm an older mom...but I still have a 16 year old at home. Are you planning on going to the PIR? We are making reservations and stuff tonight.No one has responded to my post about Div 130.

Hi, Kathy, I'm not sure where we are staying yet; my mother-in-law asked to go but my son has my dad, my husband, my daughter and me on the list and my husband and I are trying to figure out what to do. I guess we need to figure it out pretty quickly, huh? Whoever ends up going, we will fly up on Thursday and probably fly back out on Sunday. We live in VA. I would prefer to drive but I just don't want to spend that much time in the car. It's actually cheaper for all of us to fly than to drive with the hotels and all. Everyone seems to know so much more than I do!! I've already taken leave from work!!
