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."

That's great! I received a letter from my son, but he didn't mention friends or buddies names other than he's made a lot of them. After taking to so many people on Navy Moms and Facebook, it would be nice to know who's SR belongs to who and if any of our SR are friends.

My son is in 280. I got two letters on Wednesday. He wrote them on Sunday. So happy to hear from him. Can't wait to see him on the 21st!!!! We went to Coronado Island this week and bought a Navy Mom sticker for my truck.

Hi Ladies, can you believe its almost here !!! I was wondering for those of you going to Meet and Greet that we wanted to sit together? Has anyone one made centerpieces?

Hi Lovey1020, I made a centerpiece! Look for glittered 279 numbers sticking out of fresh flowers. I am beyond excited!

If anyone from our division wants to sit together, I made a centerpiece. Look for the silver anchored container with white fresh flowers, glittered 279 is sticking out of the top. I would post a picture, but I have to wait until arriving in Chicago to add the flowers.
I can't wait to meet everyone from our div! -

Oh thats sounds awesome can't wait. I just need to see if anyone made one for 280 made head over to FB but I think it would be good to sit together since they trained together :)

I agree! I think there was another person on FB that made a centerpiece for 279, but not sure about 280. It's funny, family members of PIR 8/21/15 just joined the FB group the past couple days, clueless and have no idea what's what. I can't imagine scrambling and not knowing anything for the past 7 weeks.
