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 04, DIV 820 and DIV 821 Brother divisions....
This discussion is for those who have an SR in Ship 04, DIV 820 and 821, PIR 10/14/11. These are brother divisions and will be spending a lot of time together from what I understand. Remember OPSEC rules and for security purposes...no pictures of your SR or names of SR. God bless you all!

Thats the reason he gave me. Would be great if some more could call tonight. Really eats up the phone cards though. Sending him a 3rd 120 minute card after just those few calls.

Thank again, all of you wonderful, prayerful and loving moms. Just means the world to me that we're all in this together. I will keep you all posted on the outcome. It just makes it easier to bear with such good friends who know how much this means to these guys ( and their moms):)

I read some moms received calls from SR's in 821 on Thursday - did your SR call? I didn't get a call but was PRAYING your SR was able to call and talk to you.
