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 son is a crew leader in his "house" (that's what someone else called it). He mentioned a few guys in his letters and think it would be neat to "hook up" on here with their loved ones if they are on. How could we do that (without names)?I think it's finally setting in at times that he has moved on and probably will not be home to "live" again. He's almost 21 and I'm still not ready lol. He seems happy and is enjoying boot camp according to his latters and calls so that helps me deal and accept.

Good Afternoon All! Wondering if someone could fill me in on the details of the ribbons I have seen referenced a couple of times. What are they for? How do we order them? Thanks!

Hello proundMom The ribbons are worn during PIR to show support and pride for our soon to be sailors. I have ordered 4 for our big event through la la ribbon queen. You can see what products she offers on her website or just send her a info request.

Hi Nikki. . .I heard from my son and almost missed his call too. I forgot to take my phone outside with me when I let the dogs out. Thank God he left a message for me but he called me back. My son stated that the division 925 was doing well and looking forward to seeing their loved ones come PIR May 3rd.

I didn't receive a call but my son's fiance did. They talked for about 15 minutes and she said he won't be able to call until the Sunday before graduation...but that's not far away! Two weeks from Friday. Hang in there!
