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."

It sounds like lots of moms got boxes and/or form letters yesterday- Nothing for me and I live in Chicago- what????
I can't wait for the kids to get home this afternoon and let me know what is waiting for us at the mailbox!!!
I keep repeating the mantra "No news is good news" That has really helped me stay upbeat and positive for him :)
I hope you get your letter and box today too!!

I hope you get yours, too! I'm assuming we are in the 11/27 PIR group. Getting anxious. And I'm doing the same thing, no news is good news!
Have a great day!

I'm 'compromising' and going to take my lunch at the end of the day - since I would typically be going home at 4 today anyhow, so that means I only have 3 more hours! I am so very anxious!!
You're darn right we'll make it! WE'RE NAVY MOMS!!!

I, on the other hand, totally get it!
Have fun! -

Maybe your daughter and my daughter will get the same division. Where did your daughter fly out of? Mine flew out of Nashville. She was the only female. There were three other Navy shippers that day but they were all young men.

There are several mom's on the Bootcamp for Mom's group that had children leave on the same day. Might want to join that group as well. Lots of veteran Navy mom's on there giving encouragement and advise!
