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."

Ship 9/Div 265 and 266
Haven't found many folks with SRs in this same group as my son. Thought I'd try a new discussion? I know 266 is brother div. with 265. There must be a bunch of ya's out there!
Hi! I'm Becky from NH!

lpparker- We used a shuttle service to take us to graduation the first time we went. The cab driver's name is Danny Machado, here is his info from the card I still have:
Danny/taxi - 847-409-3711
Flat Rates, Airport pickup/drop off/Guided Tours/limousine also available
We will most likely use him again because he was so knowledgeable of RTC and the surrounding area and was funny and very nice.

I just got a call from my son. I guess he's getting separated for having scoliosis. He didn't know he had it until he had his physical. I certainly didn't know either and he's had physicals with our doctor before but no one ever said anything about that. But it's ok. He's bummed out a little but he's the type of person that can take the good with the bad. And I had put him in God's hands so God knows what He's doing more than we do, there must be a reason this has happened.

Aww.. So sorry to hear about your son. It seems that someone should have discovered this long before now. What happens now? Will be keeping him in my prayers!

He said the Navy will fly him back home in two weeks. I guess they started the paperwork day before yesterday.

Hello everyone...just received 3 letters from Becca. She seems to be doing well, a bit stressed and maybe a little annoyed at times. But good. She does have a divisional job...Ship Staff. She's passed all her inspections and tests to date. I am so proud of her.

Hey, last week I was the one whining...no problem here. Last week I got nothing. In the first letter today my daughter mentioned maybe this wasn't such a good idea, but by the last one she was much more positive. I'm sure your daughter is doing much better now.

I just got the one as well- but there was maore than one letter in the envelope. I am hoping to get another one this week-don't worry we knew it would be tuff. I had wanted my daughter to go to school first but she made the decision and joined in a matter of weeks- so I am sure she may be feeling the same way. Hope her next letter provides you some comfort.
