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, my son is a SR in this division. Please join in the discussion if your SR is in the same division. Look forward to going through this journey with people who are in the same "ship".

This past Wednesday? If so, he may be in this PIR group. My son arrived 4/12 but had to wait until more arrived on Monday for a division to form. Join this PIR group even if he is not on this ship.

I know what you mean!! I just received my form letter also..I started mailing out all letters from day 1. This is extremely hard for me. I am a single mother and have raised my two boys on my own and have never, ever been apart from them. I miss and worry about him, but am so PROUD!! We will ALL get through this together!! (:

My son is on the ship too....and same division. I have not gotten a letter yet but have mailed out like 20 already......I can't wait to hear from him - I miss him soooo much as I'm sure you miss your son too. Both at least we can both be proud of what they are doing - they are making a life for themselves......and get to go and see and learn things we never would of imagined doing ourselves. Good luck to you and your family - and please write back - maybe we can meet up for graduation. Have a great night...
