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 have a daughter that is on Ship 09 Div 266 she left June 27

Hi sputnik114 my furt son in law is on ship 9 div 266 my  daughter received 2 letters todays  S/R wants calling card numbers I already sent hope he shares one I told him too . Remember go to calls for recruits.org all the calling card pin numbers you need for free(the site explains how it all works).  He also wants pictures.  Hope your daughter didn't get the sore throat that is going around over their.  Didn't there mommas teach them to cough in their elbows unless they are told not too.

Hi there we sent one phone card with her but I will check out recruits.org, sore throat oh lord she will catch anything maybe I need to go and check on her LOL I wish. Thanks for the info

Hello there! My son is DIV 265.

Hi there my son is also DIV 265

Hi all - my son is in 265 also.

My son is in Div 266!  

Do you know where you son will be going for A school?  My daughters fiance is also in 266.  She's hoping for a phone call over the weekend we have sent several calling numbers and even gave him one in an address book but I don't think he took it b cause in his first real letter he asked send some of those calling numbers.  He's already learning the hard way he won't listen before he left.  Cody furt mom Dar dhip9div266

Tom's going to Correy station in Pensacola, how bout Cody?

Isn't that always the case.  I sent my son with an address book and a bunch of calling numbers in it and told him if he didn't take one other thing, take the address book - I didn't expect him to remember addresses and phone numbers with the amount of pressure he may be under.  Gotta love our kids! LOL

ok, I changed my sign in name again, sorry.  But I wanted to change it from my old screen name from when my oldest was in.  It's been great hearing from each of you and sharing with us ideas, letters, etc.  I have only received the form letter and a short letter from him so far, can't wait to get the next one.  And I can't wait to get to GL!  Last time we went my oldest graduated also on a Friday and he had liberty afterwards to which we took him out to eat to a Golden Coral and cruised around.  The next day he had all day liberty and we picked him up early and went into Chicago to the Museum and Aquarium.  But my concern is that my youngest son's A school is in another state so I'm worried that he will be GRAD N GO.  If he is, will we have any time after graduation to spend with him before he leaves?  Does anyone know?  My oldest was a gunners mate but my youngest's job is MT.

Has anyone in Div 266 received mail?  I haven't heard from my SR and I hear that several parents/spouses received mail today.  I did receive the form letter last week, but that is all.
