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."

Ship 07 Div 163
Hey =)
I had started a discussion at another place, but figured this was a better spot for it. I just wanted to start a place where we could all chat that our children were in the same group.
My name is Candy and my son is a 4th generation sailor on his dad's side. I am so proud of him. His father was in the Navy and I was Air Force. He did a little bit of college and decided that it wasn't for him. He is going to Mississippi for A school to be a SeeBee builder.
So glad I was told about this site.

My name is Jean and my son is also Ship 07 Div 163. No one in our family has been in the military, so it's a new experience for me, and I really don't know much about it. My son did a bit of college and also decided it wasn't for him now. I think his A school will be in San Diego for Sonar Tech.

Welcome Jean and Laura. =) Sorry I haven't been on much lately. I've been working way too much. Anyways, glad you guys have joined us. =)
I got my letter yesterday. I scared my husband to death. I came running in the house yelling for him and my youngest. He thought that I had gotten hurt. lol He sounds a little lost and lonely, but he's doing well. I so just wanted to wrap my arms around him and tell him how much I loved him. He said if they do good that he thinks they will be able to call on Sunday. I so hope he gets to.
My husband is ex Navy and I'm ex Air Force. If you have any questions I would be happy to help. Just let me know. =)
