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."

Welcome to SHIP 11 DIV 366!

We just received our son's box and letter today and this is his ship/division.  Really a surprise to be graduating on 11/4 since he just left for BC on 9/13!  Looking forward to hearing from other parents or loved ones as we'll be at graduation and might get a chance to meet.

Time is flying! Can't wait to seen honey! Another day closer to PIR <3 <3 <3
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.

Got a letter yesterday! I am so excited to see my son, does anyone know when we should stop writing? Thanks, Lynne

 

I was wondering the same thing but I have not received a letter in over a week now.  I know his last letter said they would be really busy.   Time has been flying except this last week with no letter.   Sure do miss my son. 

 

hi, I saw a reply earlier that said we should write up to a week prior but should make copies of the letters incase they don't get them. Are you going to the meet and greet?
Do any of you have dates for Battlestations yet?  Could you send to me in a private message - or to diannep, she will send out a group message with all the dates for the PIR
nothing yet...although not getting  a letter doesn't help!  i asked my SR to tell me when BS was.  So I'll keep you posted if I hear anything!  8 days!

I have not received a letter either for last week. So no clue on BS.   Hope we hear something soon!!!

 

No letter this weekend and no call about BS. Has anyone heard? Getting worried! Only a few more days, I can not wait.
HELLO LADIES! WE HAVE ONLY 5 DAYS TO GO! Who's excited???
So excited, have you heard anything about BS?
In box me
