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."

We don't want to accidentally overlook any of them or you.
Hang in there!!!

Yes, thank you Ellen!
We have received our daughter's box, form letter and Adopt-A-Sailor form with a small note in it. Still impatiently waiting for a phone call. Our daughter is div. 906.
We are 40 minutes North of Mpls, MN, about 6.5 hours from GL.

Thank you Ellen! This is a great idea! Hi 905 and 906 moms. I don't think any of us have gotten a personal letter or phone call yet have we? It seems the other divisions have. My daughter is ship 905.

Hello, I received a call from my SR on 11/1. She wanted to how was Halloween and can I save her candy for when I come. She was feeling down because she had not received any of our family letters to her yet. I told her they may take time. We talked for about 15-20 mins then she called her best friend after..
Her name is SR WHITTIKER,A. Hope to see you on 12/11.. I can't wait.. -

We have only received the box and form letter. Our daughter is div. 906. We are from Florida so we will not be able to come for Thanksgiving. I hope she will be able to spend the day with a family.

Thanks Navymom65 for the update. Our time is coming! Pages navy we live in San Diego. We won't be able to make it for Thanksgiving either. It's just too far. We are coming to the graduation though. Counting the days down for that. Is your SRs A school in Florida? That would be awesome for you. My daughter has a school in pensacola Florida.
