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."

I look through those pictures increased in size - I didn't see anything that was labeled Div 154? Which one did you look at out of the 27 that was Div 154? Dying to look again!

Has anyone else not gotten a phone yet? I am impatiently waiting really want that call. I am missing him a lot today. Trying not to cry and stay focused on his little brothers birthday party.

No phone call yet either, but I stay positive the old "no news is good news." Believe me it is killing me not to hear him even for just a minute.  His letters are upbeat and sound positive.  Hopefully today or the next couple will be our day to hear their voices.  My son is on the USS Triton Div 154 what about yours?

 

 

Mine is the same.

I FINALLY got my phone call. He only had 15 mins. It was great to hear his voice!! He sounded really good said things are going good. And that they are scheduled for phone calls tomorrow so keep your phones on and with you Moms. You may be hearing from your SR tomorrow!! Keeping my fingers crossed for everyone.

From one MN mom to another I hope and pray for that 1st phone call...

 

Thank you for the update!!! So glad you got your phone call and I am so excited and keeping my fingers crossed for tomorrow.  I am dying to hear his voice. This will actually be the first time in a long time I can say I cannot wait for Monday!

I am keeping my fingers crossed and saying a prayer that everyone who has not gotten a call gets it soon.

So Happy for you!!!  I still haven't gotten a phone call from my Son. Kinda bummed out. I really want to talk to him. I'll be able to tell by his voice if he's happy or not.

If the rest of our division has gotten a phone call already, I am wondering why my kid hasn't called!

I scanned the caller ID for area code 847. Nothing. No messages on answering machine. So I'll have to add that to today's letter. . . CALL YOUR MAMA!! hahaha!

Hugs to you all. So excited to meet everyone!

I'm so happy mn navy mom that you finally got your phone call. It really took away a lot of the stress and emotional ups and downs once I got that phone call on 4/12. I can wait until the "I'm a Sailor" call if necessary.  Any phone call before then will feel like icing on top of the cake! I will definitely keep my phone close to me as I usually do every day.

Thank you! I am in a much better place now. All I needed was to hear his voice. Now I can't wait to hug him! Miss him so much I have never gone this long without talking to him or seeing him. I am so proud of the choice he has made for his life and the goals he has set for himself. Can't wait to meet all of the Moms/families too! I have only been on this site for a week and it has helped to get back to the happy me that my hubby has been missing.

15 days Moms!! I am getting very excited. I think I am going to start packing bags this weekend. Need to get stuff for my SR and the rest of the family so I better start now so I don't  forget something. Hope everyone is doing well today. No letter for me this week):

I'm definitely getting excited too. Went shopping for clothes for PIR today. I had ordered a cute shirt and jacket to wear but my big old granny arms keep them from fitting!   I think I will give them to my mom or aunt to wear instead. Probably my aunt, because I think they will look really good on her.  I bought a cute pair of white capri's & a red blouse with blue flowers to wear instead. I think it looks good and has the colors I was planning to wear so it will work out. 

I haven't received a letter yet this week either but Thursday is usually our letter day. Maybe you will still get one this week. They begin their last week of trraining days on Friday, so they will have the final PFA that they all must pass.  I am hoping that she will let me know how she did on the last one if she mailed a letter to me this week.  

We will get to meet 2 weeks from tomorrow. I can't believe it is finally almost here but so happy we are nearing the end of the BC phase.

Hope you have a great rest of the day.
