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.

Okay, so got a phone call from the kid on Wednesday, she sounded great! The group just got their first flag! She was really excited about it!
Got a letter Thursday saying she had her wisdom teeth taken out last week......WOW, really???? She never said anything on the phone..........that is kinda info that a Mom needs to know, doncha think??? Am I the only Mom that doesn't get info from their kid?
I am thrilled that she is doing so well, but come on kid, you need to tell me these things. So, Moms, am I overreacting or what?

I joined that PiR group 6-13-2014 and people post all the time hearing from their kids and boyfriends girlfriends, I guess some in Division 198 are still writing. My son hasn't. They said it was a real crunch time. A lot of people on Navy for Moms are on there. You should check it out, :)

I don't know Kelly from what I have heard the Battle stations is next week. I haven't gotten a letter or call from Devin since May 7. I feel completely in the dark. I hope everything is going o.k. I joined the facebook group and they seem to have a lot of info daily on there. Some of them get a ton of phone calls and letters.

Hello. I sent you a friend request also so I could invite you on facebook but I need to know your name on there like I did with Kelly. I did hear from Devin through Kelsey and their division is doing better. I think they have finally pulled together is what he said in the letter. He said he had not had time to write because he works out during his free time, he leaves 2 am Sat morning for Charleston so he wants us to go with him to the airport. I have only gotten one letter this whole time so I understand. The facebook is PIR 06-13-14 7 divisions. There is quite a few from Our divisions that is on there all the time, let me know if you need help with it. :)
