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."

Hello Ship 11, Division 106
Wow, we are getting close! Are any of you considering ribbons to wear or getting together at one of the meet & greets? I'm interested!
We also received phone calls from our son last week! We as a group today are so lucky. I can't help but think how it must have been 20, 40, 60 years ago when a loved one went off to the military & there was no communication except mail & possibly a phone call. I appreciate this site for all that it has shown me & taught me. I can see some of what my son has seen.
Take care.

Hi Peggy! Yes, I can't believe there arn't more 11/106 people out there... We will be staying at the Quality Inn and would love to be at one of the meet & greets. Hopefully we'll hear a bit more soon and can decide on a location.
My concern at graduation is that I will not be able to spot my son! We'll have to have some zooming in equipment for all of us so that we don't miss him.
My son has been so good about writing, I am grateful! It is wonderful to hear from him, I so look forward to it, and it does make the wait easier.
Do you plan on making or purchasing a ribbon(s)? I think I'm going to make one/some, it doesn't look too hard. My daughter is artistic maybe I'll ask her :)
And yes you're right, this has been quite a ride, and it's only beginning!
Talk to you soon.
