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."

Im in the 3 on FB too......This website is always opened.....never know when I think of something new to search!! the navy dads, and deps websites are full of information as well!!! I like to do research, so I don't look foolish!! I'm starting to pick my brain for ideas on centerpieces and the basket for the meet & greet! door posters for the hotel (need 2 make 2 we have 2 rooms) 30 days.....is going to go by quickly, hopefully

I don't think I will make a "basket" probably stuff everything inside a bag, for easy suitcase packing. I'm driving so I can throw my stuff in the car.....folks flying may have more of a challenge packing a basket!
I'm going to go to the local teacher store to see if they have anything "anchor" related for the door poster. If not, I'll stick with stars and flags :)

My son is in division 156. I was so happy when I received a call from my son last weekend. I have sent him four letters. I'm not sure if he will get one of them, since it was a large envelope with the sports page enclosed. I would not have sent it if I would have known he was not allowed to have it. I am so looking forward to seeing him next month. I haven't received any letters from him, but it's alright. He normally doesn't write letters. All that matters is that I know that he loves me and he knows that I love him. As long as I can write him and encourage him, I will continue to do so. Hang in there Navy for moms. All of the support on this website has help me a lot. Thank you!
