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."

Ship 02, Division 924
Hi everyone...I did not see a discussion started yet for our ship and division so I thought I would create one while I am feeling full of positive energy. If one has been started I apologize for overlooking it.
My name is Pearl and I am engaged to an amazing future sailor who I will get to see again on 4/29. I had been having a hard time, but as of today things are starting to look up. I finally have made contact with Bryan. He has been writing me every night. My envelope contained letters from 2/27 through 3/7 and 3/4 there were 2. I feel so lucky to have someone so devoted to me and my four kids. And I now know to expect at some point in time another envelope filled with a bunch of letters.
I am from Pennsylvania. Where is everyone else from? Will you be going to the graduation? I am going and will be staying at the Homewood Suites, which is approximately 11 miles from the training center. Has anyone planned out an itinerary? I have been so busy thinking about seeing him that so far I haven't even thought of what we may do while we are there.
My fiance mentioned that he had watch one night with a Single A / Minor league baseball pitcher from Detroit. I know the way he loves baseball that had to be up his alley.
I hope everyone else within our division starts to finally receive mail. It is such a good feeling to see that envelope. Thought for sure I was going to cry like I did when I received that graduation information, but instead I am so happy.
Please feel free to ask questions. My letters are personal, but there are sections of each letter where he is telling me about his day. I would be more than happy to share.

I got a call from my son yesterday it was so good to hear his voice. It was the first time that I've talked to K O since he left. His father has talked to him on previous calls but I've been working. Can't wait to see him on Friday. He'll be a body snatcher on the north side. I'll be wearig my pink scarf. I hope to meet some of you there.
