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."

Thanks seabreeze. I am sure this is a great group and I am looking forward to getting to know yall in the next few weeks. I hope my son is fitting in. I was worried about him having to move to a ship where he doesn't know one person this late in the game.

My last letter was last Thursday. I am hoping she wrote to a friend or another family member last week. Only phone call was March 8th.

This page is backwards- the most current posts are at the end. Why is that?

Thanks CTsailor. I really appreciate that. I heard from my SR on the 21st, but of course it wasn't a good call as you all know. I did get some letters after that, but they were written before the call. Haven't heard a thing since.
I just wanted to let this Div know that the last Div my SR was in is graduating on Friday and their N4M page is only on page 5 or maybe 6. Ya'll are pushing page 10 and we still have 16 days until graduation. This is great!! -
