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 Div 395. I haven't heard a word from him except for his box and navy letter. I carry my phone everywhere. Anxiety very high. But I know he is fine and hopefully happy. I think that is what I mostly want to hear. Then I will be fine. We have reservations at the Navy Lodge for PIR. My son is going to Pensacola after Great Lakes. Looking forward to meeting families at PIR. Maybe Div 395 families could meet up somewhere Thursday evening? Open to any plans. Hopeful phone calls this weekend. My friend has a son at Great Lakes also she got her first phone call day 16 (a Saturday).

I am really looking forward to meeting all the moms whose sons/daughters are in the same ship and division. We all deserve a Great Big Hug cuz this is/has been one big rollercoaster ride emotions and all. How do you go about attending the SARGE'S MEET AND GREET? God Bless Julie

Julie have you heard any from your daughter? I got that one 5' phone call and then nothing....I just wish I would get a personal letter from Colt. The waiting is not fun :( I have tried to respond several times but I live in the country in Mississippi with very slow internet and it is not very good... lol)
