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."

I received a letter last week & a phone call on Friday but have not heard anything else. My son did say they were having trouble in his division so mail was held. I sure hope who ever it is pulls it together! 29 days to go...............!!!!!!
Things seem a little quite on here.  I received another letter on Wednesday, March 16th.  I hope everyone else is receiving letters and or phone calls.  My son did say that they would be in Dress Blues for Graduation.  I am getting very excited to see him again.  Has anyone else heard from their loved one?
Nothing Shirley...............=(

I hope their division is ok, everyone posting great things about their SR's division. I hope our div is ok. Have a blessed Sunday!
I got another letter a couple days ago, but no call last week.
How great another letter...........=)

Anything new? How is he holding up? You know I think I prefer a letter than a phone call, it was so hard to hear my son on the phone & then to hear them being yelled @ to get off the phone broke my heart. I crid the whole day.......=(

Have a blessed Sunday!
I hope their division is doing better too, mamamary.  My son also said they were having a little trouble.  Hopefully, they have improved whatever their problem was.  I hate not hearing anything.  I do believe that this happens alot and then they come together.  They will be great.  Have faith!  They are great guys!  Deb
Deb- I do believe the SR's will come together & be a team, it just takes a lot of work. I just hate not hearing from my son as you know how I feel.

April 15th can't come soon enough!
I was hoping for a call today............=(
Found out that my son is an undesignated -pact airman. What does that mean????
hello everyone...i did hear that this division/ship is having a hard time. My son said they are a little rowdy!  My son has only got to make one phone call and it was for 10 minutes!  That was it! 19 days until I leave for PIR!!!  I can't wait
Oh no that sares me!!!! Can they hold their whole division back? I really hope they pull it together!

What the heck is going on with this division?!?!?!

All we can do is pray for the divison & have faith that they work as a team especially durring Battlestation!
