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."

Kimmic1989, you aren't the only one. I put those phone numbers in the very first letter I wrote! I barely know my own cell number. I certainly don't know my son's. We don't memorize phone numbers any more. They are all just programmed into our phones!

I know!!! ColoradoMom...I do know that he knows mine by heart but not everyone's so I sent the list. He will thinks it's funny. He has probobably spent a significant amount of time reading my letters and "rolling his eyes" at how neurotic I am about everything!!! It's my job...I'm a Navy Mom!!!

Yes! What a great idea. The phone numbers are going into the letter I am writing today. I know he knows my cell number but not sure if he remembers any of the others.

The only number my son needs is mine!! He told me in the last call that my number is the only one he remembers so he will call that number over the weekend when everyone is home!!

Good Morning All! Still no call and no mail. Hope today is the day. I have my phone with me constantly. Hope everyone has a great day. :)

Does anyone else go into COMPLETE panic mode when you have set your phone down and realize you can't find it!!! I left mine in my coat pocket yesterday for a total of a minute when I realized it was on vibrate and I wouldn't hear it from the kitchen....Almost had a stroke. LOL (told you I was neurotic) :-)

I am equally neurotic. I get myself into such a tizzy when I can't find my phone!

Oh good! I'm glad I'm not the only one!!! I am also very excited to meet all of you moms at graduation. I have been trying to think of something that would distinguish us on Ship 9 Div 75. Any ideas...I'm really not into wearing big Red Hats and my son would kill me!!! LOL

Yeah, I think my son would kill me if I showed up in a red hat...although he would not be surprised if I did. Hmm...maybe a certain colored scarf? Or a BIG BUTTON that says SHIP 09 DIV 075?

I have rigged my phone up with a rubber band threaded through the corner of mine (it has a tiny slot up in the left corner) and then it's tied onto my sons Navy lanyard... It literally hangs around my neck!! If I leave it somewhere, I have a full blown panic attack!! We are too funny!!

My iPhone doesn't have anywhere to slip a rubber band through it. I like the idea of using my son's Navy lanyard. If I could just rig it up somehow...
