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."

Fishmom & navymom2011 ~ Hopefully there will be more moms to find us :-)! Glad to finally meet someone in the same Ship/Div as my son. I will stay in touch as often as I can, alot of good info on all these Navy4Mom sites :-)! I'm a retired Navy Chief and boot camp has definitely changed since I went through :-)! Hopefully, my son picked up some of the Navy lingo in the house and will be able to pass his test! My husband was also in the Navy a "snipe". He should at least know what that is lol... Hope everyone gets letters this week, here's crossing our fingers and toes!

Has anyone made reservations yet? Car/Hotel/Airlines? I thought I would have seen more moms on our discussion :-(. I did get a letter last week :-)! Cant wait until this Thursday, seems like from what I have been reading this is going to be our lucky day. My son sounded up beat with the exception he had not received any letters. I believe they have crossed in the mail because I have written him numerous letters. He said he had to cut his letter short because he had to "polish his shoes" and "practice bunk making"! Really..."practice bunk making". Thank you Navy! You have done in 3 weeks what I couldnt do in 25 years! lol. Hope everyone has a great week!

Looks like we all our staying somewhere different. We will be staying at the Residence Inn. Hopefully, we will be able to get together. I hope there are others to find our group :-). Did you see where other Divisions are getting phone calls! Whats up with that? Maybe our phone call will be today, I read where someone's daughter said she gets to call the 16th and that is today! I'm glad for the families that are receiving the calls. I cried as I read the posts last night :-(! Wondering what it would be like to get that call. Hope you all have a blessed day!
