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."

Hello Sheara71,  Aww,  I am sure talking to you helped so much. I thought it was awesome that you said in your post " you love him to the moon" as this is my phrase to all my kids. I love you to the moon and back. I received my letter today and my SR put all sorts of cute and funny notes all over form. He is division 927, ship 2. I am told this is the performance division. He is not a musician so not sure yet what he is doing. Just booked hotel and now to make further plans for PIR. Enjoy your weekend.

Hi MamaRete,  Just got my letter - finally! - and my son is also 927 ship 2!  I just looked up what 927 is and they carry the flags of every state along with the MIA and POW flags -http://navyformoms.com/group/bootcampmoms/page/900-divisions

What hotel did you book?

Hello fellow 927 moms, yes I saw that was Sticks(flags) division. I just booked the Holiday Inn Express. The Residence inn was booked and rooms going really fast. The Holdiay Inn is right near all the restaurants and walmart and the meet and greet place. At least that is what I read on forum. Yayy, so proud of all of our SR.

I will form the 05/1512015 PIR group later this evening :-)

I'm assuming my son will be in that PIR. He arrived on the 18th. I have not received the form letter yet. I want to know what date it is so I can start planning. I'm afraid the hotels will be sold out.:(

Hi Aimee!!! I'm so happy for you!! No phone call for me nor letter. :(
I checked the mailbox like 1000 times. But nothing, not even junk mail. Hopefully on Monday I will receive it! I really hope that it's the 8th as well!! It's Mother's Day weekend!!! But I'll be okay if isn't. I just want to know.. The suspense is driving me crazy. How long ago did you get the phone call? Was it long? How's your son doing?? I'm so happy for you!!
