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, hopefully I'll meet your parents as well as others at the meet and greet. I ordered ribbons with the 327 on them for the meet and greet and to wear at graduation. I hope your parents make it to the party.

They should make as long as there are no flight delays but who knows as they fly from Newark, NJ into Chicago O'hare (which both are notorious for delays). Here is a pic of the three of us (though I can't make it).

Wow, nuke school will that be for subs or ships or both? My brother was in the Navy in the 80's and did nuclear stuff too but he was on a ship that is decommissioned now. Hope to see you at the meet and greet.

My son is in Div 328 & I received a phone call from him last Thursday, but it was just to tell me he got his orders for Japan. He did tell me that his division has gotten in trouble and has gotten their phone privileges taken away for the past 3 weeks... UGH! I was glad to hear his voice but the phone call was short, was hoping to hear from him this past weekend but didn't.... So I am going to assume they got in trouble again. I do get letters from him usually on Thursdays, and I send him 3-4 cards a week with pictures and articles from the sports section of the newspaper.... I cant wait to see him on the 30th!!!!

My son is in the USS Hopper Division 328, and I received a phone call from him last Thursday telling me he got his orders- after five weeks of A-School at GL he will leave for Seasebo Japan on October 12.... Did anyone else get a phone call? I'm excited for him, but yet nervous.... LOL.... Can't wait to see him at graduation.....!!
