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 was just wondering if anyone found the facebook page with Ship-O3 Div-173.  They do not take request and because of that they do not post the ship and division, but I spotted my son in a picture they posted of the new recruits entering their ship on April 17th.  I was so excited......

He got there on 4/10 he is in ship 3 div 173. it was nice to hear from him so early in the weekend now i can relax before work on Monday. Waiting to hear something has been the most stressful thing...lol

I enjoyed my 30 minute phone call with my son. He was even able to talk to his brother and Dad. I was shocked with myself though. I thought I would Cry like I have been, and I didn't. He told me he is gonna be super Buff when BC is over. I really needed to hear his voice. Ya know what bad though. I had been glued to my phone, just waiting for him to call, I made sure I had my blue-tooth on when driving and everything, and wouldn't you know the one time I put my phone down, My son calls. he tried twice, I must have been sleeping pretty good because I didn't hear it ring at all. But luckily, my husband had his phone on, and answered, FEEEEWWWW!!!!!!!
Aww i hope they do too mines was about stuff they going through

Good Morning Navy Moms, and Wives.

I was just wondering how you all were doing today.  Myself, I'm doing pretty good.  Still missing my SR, but I made a reservation for the hotel (YAY!). I'm so ready to see my son.
