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."

Does anyone have a son/daughter in Ship Hipo3 Div. 235?  If so, I would love to hear from you.

My son went to Central Dauphin.  He went to Pre-Buds right from Basic.  He just got reclassified the end of the week and is heading to Pensacola, FL for Air Traffic Controller training in November.

Hi Kathy, my son started in the Navy under a SEAL contract but after making it through Pre-BUDS and starting BO, he decided that being a SEAL was not a good fit for him.  He is currently waiting for reclassification.  He very much wants to stay in the NAVY, so we are just waiting to see where he ends up.  What is OS?

Hi Kathy! My husband told me that they designed their flag and on one side its the RDC's names and their division number and then on the other side is a goat hugging the world...and the goat is the Navy's mascot. So im assuming that the goat hugging the world would be on their division tshirts but im not sure. I am going to order one.

Re send it. I'll be at work, but I should have time!

I accidently deleted it because I had to purge my entire inbox. Resend! It worked though I saw it I just couldn't retrieve it because my inbox was full!

No letter... :( I am plannning on giving you a quick call today though. The picture part you go to settings and then add photo.

I did make reservations earlier today... at the Ramada Waukegan.  My thinking was, that maybe he will want to get away from the base... but reality is that it is only 4 miles.

 

My SR (Sean) is also staying at GL for A school... but I don't know what his job is yet. He's in Ship 03 Div 236.  

 

My daughter and my ex are supposed to travel with me.  I hope they don't let me and Sean down.  I'll find out about my daughter tomorrow... but won't know until last minute about my ex.

 

How old is your son?  Sean just turned 23 in May.

 

It would be great if we could connect up there...
