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."

My fiance is also on Ship12 Div 85 & I have yet to hear from him as well. I received the initial phone call and the packet in the mail that states his PIR date and mailing info. Anxious to hear from him. I pray these Divisions are doing well!

Hi all, I am also member of the Texas group, and just received a note from one of the moms whose sons PIR date is 1/25/13 and she said she just received her first phone call this past Thursday, but no mention of a letter. So there is light at the end of the tunnel. My prayer group cont to pray for all our SRs to give them the strength and health they need to make it through this time.
Sometimes when I feel a little sad, I think of a friend of mine who has not seen his SR for 2 years, makes me really glad 2/1 is less then 6 weeks away now. -

It looks like 083 div were the only ones who got calls. Didn't see any posts for us. I feel like I want at least a letter or call from my SR before I book my trip. And this weather! We made a rental car rez, but I'm gonna have a back-up plan for transportation in place. I'm confidant we'll here from them by Saturday or Sunday! God bless!

Good afternoon jillymom I feel the same way you do. I want to hear from my son before I book my flight. It would really make my day to have a letter from him in the mail when I get home keeping my fingers crossed.

Anyone else going as nuts as I am? Why does it seem that our SR's are the last to get letters to us? Tomorrow will be 3 weeks since they left. I know its driving me crazy. I have never gone this long without either talking, texting or communicating somehow with my son. I just have to keep telling myself everything is fine, they are doing well and keeping themselves busy. I know our SR's are thinking about all of us. We WILL hear from them soon. I have faith!

I think we're all going nuts!! I rushed home tonight hoping to find a letter, but nothing. Jskmom, you are right, we just have to keep the faith! They are busy doing what they have to do and working hard as a team. They are OK. We're lucky to have this website where we can all communicate and gather information. If not for this, I know I'd be wondering if I was the only one who hadn't heard from my SR, so it is comforting to be able to reach out to other SR mom's that are as much in the dark as I.
