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."

Missing her so much...
Hi Everyone,
I am new to this website, I have a SR 17day's into RTC.
I am not new to the Navy Family, I have a son that joined just after 911 also.
But having my Daughter in training is killing me...
Maybe because with my son I know he can handle himself, and if he was to get yelled at, I don't know it's just different when it's your "little Girl" it's been the longest 17 day's without hearing from her.
Then today I got my first letter and I cried!
She is doing well, and much to my surprise she is handling it very well...I'm glad 1 of us is.
her PIR is 1/13/2012 and it seems like a life time away. My son laughs at me and tells me Mom she's not a Baby anymore! And I told him oh you are so wrong you all will always be my Baby's no matter how old you get.
If any moms in here got daughters in Ship-11 Div037 I would love to chat and maybe support each other.
