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. My son is also in Ship 02, Div 909. I'm just a little late getting connected to this site. We have received three phone calls, (excluding the day he arrived at BC on 11/13/13) and several letters. Our last call was on Christmas. He wasn't adopted by a family, but said everyone in his division who wasn't adopted by a family was able to go to a church for the day. He was in great spirits and was looking forward to PT. I'm wondering, where are most of you staying for PIR? I have our airline tickets and rental car reserved, but not our hotel. Suggestions??

My SR told me what he thought the date of battlestations was for this division. I understand we are not to post it, but if you want to know, just private message me. (I hope that's okay!) It would be nice if we could get extra prayers going for them during that time.

ProudMom93, I just sent you a friend request, since I think that is the only way I can private message you. I'm still trying to figure out how to navigate this site (which is a great resource).

Today we received a very short letter from our SR. He asked several questions about his brothers. He ended by saying everything over there is alright and he should be seeing us on the 10th. I'm hoping everything really is ok. I know that as of our last call (on Christmas) he seemed very happy but there were still a few who were talking and getting the division in trouble.

Proudmom, That tracks with what my SR said at Christmastime, that their BS was 1-7-14.
