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."

I am afraid so, Laurie. I haven't seen anyone that has someone in div 045. I am glad you came along. Are you going to graduation?

Yes. We are driving, my husband, daughter, my neighbor (adopted grandmother) and myself. Leaving early Thursday morning so we can make it there late afternoon. We are staying at Homewood Suites. I looked at the Navy Lodge and wasn't sure if we could stay there.

I am so happy for you SCMom. It is so nice to hear their voice isn't it. I am so glad you joined us here. Laurie and I thought we were the only ones that had someone on ship 09.

Yes, it is was great to hear from him. I missed his call on Sat and was feeling really down about that. He sounded really good.

My son wrote his letter the day after he called and he said he would be able to call 2 more time before graduation. I am so looking forward to it. I almost missed his call on Saturday. He called the home phone (which he never does) and I was across the street with my neighbor. So he called my husband at work and he in return called me to go home because our son was going to try the house again. So I did get to talk to him after all. But now I set up my home phone that when it gets a call it will simultanously ring my cell phone. No more missed calls from my baby.

I have a son in DIV 046. This is my second time with a son in Navy boot camp. My oldest son has been in the Navy for almost 2 years. We are from Nebraska.
