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."

Hi ladies, I ordered a coin from Pirgifts I got it today. It's the USS Kearsarge ship 11 coin. I thought it was rather nice as a PIR grad gift. Just food for thought. Ordered Saturday got it today. Cannot remember but maybe around $13. Tomorrows Thursday maybe we will get some mail!

OK everyone, with the holiday yesterday, we should be on training day 3-2 today! Which means "Hell Week" (week 4 will start on Monday!) This is an eventful intense week for our SR's, so keep praying and keep those blue candles going! For those of you that don't have the day to day info, here you go: http://www.navydep.com/forums/showthread.php?t=433
I'm excited for them! If they are getting together as a team as I believe they are... they are going to love these competitions and will excel! I know they will do the best they can though and will probably hear us all cheering from here! :)
I hope everyone gets letters soon... they are on their way!

I keep everyone in my thoughts & prayers including us motherhood! I am so thankful to have this site & forums/groups and the veteran moms here to help us along the way.

Oh, Sheree, I'm so sorry to hear this. I can't imagine the emotions for both you and your son. Praying for you and him as he transitions back home and starts the process of discovering a new path. May God be close to you now. Maybe someone mentioned this already, but I know there is a group for those whose SRs are being separated. Ship #5, I think.
