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."

My husband is in this division, wondering if anyone else has boys in this group. :) I've heard about some of them now from my husband via phone calls / letters, and I would love to chat with some of their family / friends! :)

Happy Anniversary:)  I am glad the Navy recognized it was A and your special day!

 

Hey, I know you! <3
Happy Anniversary! ( sorry I'm late! LOL)
You have a small PIR group. There are often 13 DIV's graduating at one time. We had 13 DIV's when my daughter had PIR and we took 4 extra guests and everyone got in with no problems. With this small of a group chances are they may not even have to wait. Just make sure they go through the gate with a parking pass and someone who is on the list and you  should be fine.
I just talked to my son. What a surprise! We were attend our uncle's funeral and he didn't know of his passing. However, he was in great spirits and he was able to speak to most of the family. God is good!
Sorry to hear of the death in your family.  I was busy moving when he called THREE TIMES and I missed it!  Now I know how he was able to do so.  He did call me last night, so no worries!
so sorry for your loss and so happy for your call :-)
Thank you so much. How can I order ribbons for Nov 4th?
For everyone who ordered ribbons to wear to PIR they have all been shipped even the ones that were ordered last night and this morning. You should have them within 2 to 3 days. It is not long at all until time for PIR and I know you are all EXCITED about that :-) If anyone missed out on ordering ribbons and would like to get them please contact me ASAP. I have a very quick turn-around and ship Priority mail so there is still plenty of time to get them to wear to PIR. Just send me a friend request on this site or an email to: uniquememorymakers@yahoo.com    Thanks everyone for making my ribbons a part of your very special event.
Hello all My son was just put in this div. from RCU! He has been at boot camp since June 21. He was finally cleared for full duty today.
Wow, that is awesome, what a long journey it has been for him. I know you must be very excited and ready to see your son. :-)

Congratulations!
