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! Thank you all for trying to win Wacky Wednesday...It seems we still may have a shot if someone in their brother division wins, right? (Fingers crossed!) We are from Austin, our daughter left on Oct 1st, and she will go to Maryland for Mass Communications. We will all be at PIR (myself, dad, and younger brother.) I am SO looking forward to meeting you all, at Sarge's Meet and Greet!!
DeborahRC: I would guess that by now our daughter's know each other! She's Ship 11 Div 024 also. :)

Are we allowed to post our kids' first names on here so we can ask them if they know each other when we talk to them?

Mine came last Saturday. I was shocked that he called 9 days in (instead of waiting the typical 3 weeks). He sounded good and had already received some of my letters.
