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."

Hi cody furt mom.  Yes, I'm here.   I saw one questionnaire somewhere once, I'll have to look for that again. 

Hi, my daugther is the same division as your son. Ship 9 Div 265 and she will graduate August 24th. - China

yeah.  There sure are.  Under different circumstances, I'm sure Tommy would love the odds! 

So glad you'll be able to make it now.   Hope I get to meet you.

Heading out of town for the next 2 1/2 wks to Fairbanks AK to see our eldest son, his wife and our granddaughter.  He is in the Air Force there.  I will be checking my inbox frequently, if ya need to communicate something to me, that's the way to go.  Thinking of you all, and really appreciating the Sisterhood.

My son is Ship 9 Div266 as well! So excited to get the form letter and a few lines from him last week. We have been busy writing to him. He probably will get tired of reading them all.

 

Hi Meekinn.  I'm Lisa.  My daughter Becca is in the same division as your son.  I know what you mean, it was so great getting her box and then the form letter a few days later with the note attached from her.  I know it hasn't been that long, but it feels alot longer.  I've been writing alot too...Im up to 5 letters sent and one card from her puppies.  I was concerned that she'd get embarassed if I sent her too much mail, but from what I'm reading, it seems to be the opposite. 

Hello Lisa and Meekinn. My daughter, Samantha is also on the same "ship." We got our first full letter from her on Thursday and I know the cards and notes they get from home remind them they are special and loved.   Im very proud of our kids choice.

Lisa..what kind od puppies?

Hi, nice to meet you all. My daughter is in Div 265. Seems like we have more today than yesterday. I would like to meet all the ones that have a child on Div 265. I am from Atlanta Georgia.

 

Hi Mom of Tom!

hey MamaB, how you doin?
