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've been thinking the same thing since there has been such little activity on here. Have you heard when battle stations are for this div yet? The SR that I'm following is my sons friend so I was hoping to see more activity on here since my info is minimal in comparison to what direct families should be getting.

Hi, Everyone! My SR is in Ship 9 Div 165 but I just joined NavyForMoms. I know, I know I'm late to the party! but I have valued reading your messages. I received a letter today but my son didn't mention a date for Battlestations. He did sound eager to graduate!

In my son's letter he mentioned that they were getting "another peanut butter shot" of penicillin and then a trip to the Navy Exchange where they could buy "some stuff". He was looking forward to that. (the Navy Exchange, not the penicillin!) Earlier he had written about their upcoming live fire weapons qualifications, but I don't know how they did. I have been lucky because he has phoned a few times to get contact information for his security clearance. He has not been allowed to say ANYTHING else, though, but at least I heard his voice.
