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."

Good morning everyone, well according to what my daughter told me on Friday, today should be a happy day for the SR’s who has PIR 11-16. She told me today is the day they finally get their letters from home. I REALLY hope this is a very happy day for them all, and it doesn’t leave them to home sick, I seriously miss my daughter right now, as I know we all miss our family members who are gone. I hope we get letters from our SR’s and sailors soon :-D Here’s hoping EVERYONE has a GREAT Sunday...

“Never let go of hope. One day you will see that it all has finally come together. What you have always wished for has finally come to be. You will look back and laugh at what has passed and you will ask yourself... 'How did I get through all of that?”

My daughter is in division 005 and we are still anxiously waiting for a letter from her. As soon as I got her address I mailed her a stack of letters! We have not gotten a phone call yet either. It is so hard not being able to speak to her. I miss Em (her name is Emily) so much! Writing to her every day helps a little, but I cannot wait to get that 1st letter from her. (the form letter we got with her address and other info does not count as a letter!)
