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."

ME! My son is. Hey do you know the password code to download/open the gate pass????
momofbp - our children will be training together as divisions if I understand correctly.

momofbp - Someone would have to chain me down for me not to show up.

I am so thankful to have found everyone on navyformoms.  Everybody is so helpful and supportive. I feel this makes me feel more involved in what my girl is doing.

Was it not a shock to get the box and then the form letter so quickly? Almost too much emotion and excitement at once.  Now I am preparing myself to hear nothing for awhile.  She did say in the form letter she had written me but could not mail it for a while. I will just use this time to get more information for PIR.

Hi Momofbp, my son is in this division, I'm from CA.

Im from CA too....San Fran/Oakland area
I'm from the foothills about 30 miles east of Modesto
We will be scheduling a meet and greet on Thursday October 6th for all the familes of the PIR group for 10/7.  Keep an eye out for the event invite.  I'm just waiting to get a little more information on a couple of things before I schedule it for sure, but wanted to let everyone know about it.  Hope to see everyone there!
My son, Rayke is Ship 07, div 340.

Where are you and Connor from, eversteamco?  We are from the Austin, Texas area.

Congrats to those who received their form letters.  It is so exciting!! I was so lucky to get the box and form letter sooner than I thought I raced home just in case there might be a letter.  Nope. Sad face.
