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."

Yahoo! We are leaving on Thursday the 2nd, and we're coming from Cincinnati, Ohio. It is only about a five hour drive on a good day, but who knows in February? We are so excited. It will be my husband, Jerry, daughter, Christina, sister-in-law, Jennifer, and myself. We are so excited. Our scarves are ordered, but haven't come yet. We are staying at the Navy Lodge. Didn't know they get pizza after Battlestations-Patrick will be very happy! :)

Also, I wanted to let you know there is a facebook group for our SR's - its "Support Ship 12 Div 054 - family/friends :)"
Ive met people on facebook who aren't on the Navy for Moms site - so I thought it would be a good idea to keep them in the loop too. anyways, you all should check it out.

haha Glad you did. This site is full of TONS of great information. :) I love it. I just made the FB thing because I met a bunch of people who didn't use this site - so I thought it would be a good way to keep them in the loop. Plus we can all stay in contact after PIR. :)

I know that 054 got to scholastic flag and the physical fitness flag – does anyone know if they have gotten other flags as well?

When I talked to my son on Jan 13th - he said they had gotten 6 flags - Academic, Marching, Athletic, Marksman, Inspection and Independent Steaming (they can march on their own and sing cadence while marching)

I knew they were a good bunch. Can't wait to see them march in. Our scarves came yesterday, so we are ready!! 12 days to go. Jerry is all ready to print off the parking pass tomorrow!!:)
Have a great evening, ladies!!
Stay warm.
