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."

No letter yet this week. I haven't gotten one in what seems like a lifetime...wouldn't be shocked if the USPS lost them again. No calls in about a month either. Uggghhhh can't it just be next week already?? ): This is agonizing.

Hello everyone! We're only 7 days away from celebrating with our SR's!
I received a letter today from my son and felt compelled to share his main message. This is the ONLY letter I've received since he left for BC 7 weeks ago where his spirit is disturbingly down and low. I've been in tears since reading it this afternoon. In his letter he says "Please pray for my Division and I, because if we don't do well on certain things we can all get held back..."
On behalf of ALL our SR's, please keep DIV 108 in strong prayer, meditation and positive thoughts.They have all come so far and just need to realize the power of pulling together as a team...as one. Pray the mental and physical fatigue that may be crippling their body doesn't overshadow the numerous accomplishments they've made both individually, as well as collectively. Pray they 'feel' our love and hugs to help push them through Battlestations 21.
Remember...we ARE strong! We ARE NavyMom's! See you all next week!
