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."

He'll be fine. Somehow everyone who gets sick this late in the game always gets FFD right before getting orders. They get 100% better. Like the boot camp gods are forcing them to be well so they can get the heck out of there lol He'll make it, no problem :)
Thanks AM sailor... you know how moms are.... we worry... and thank you for your committment to our country!!! 
Does anyone know when/if they'll be able to call again? I hope they can!!! Way to go 180 :D
I was hopping they would call after they won Capt's cup...oh well. It is getting so close.....
I was hoping for another call too, after they won Captain's Cup. For some reason I was assuming they were in Recruit Heaven the rest of the week. LOL
The new random pics are up on fb. Does anyone else think that the marching all male division might be 180? I see someone that looks like my SR but its really hard to tell when they all look the same :)
I don't think it is, they have books in their hands.  Ours do not have any classes this week that I know of.  I could be wrong.

I didn't think so with the books but it looks like their caps say navy and not recruit.

 

They carry books all the time when they march...unless they're going to PT. Now that they've done battlestations they should be carrying their Blue Jackets manual. If the books are white, those are trainee guides and not your boys. But they shouldn't really be marching anywhere this week...they're probably stuck in the compartment...nothing else to do lol
I looked at the pictures and did not see my guys. But you're right about them all looking the same. Reminds me when one of our guys was on the swim team and you would be cheering on screaming for someone you thought was your son, only to realize when they got out of the water it was someone else. LOL

I'm sure y'all are at GL now! Anxiously awaiting the morning! My best to everyone, hope you all have fun and enjoy seeing your Sailors! (as if it would be possible not to enjoy that). For all of you who have boys going to NATTC Pensacola, I would be happy to be a sponsor of sorts lol I can show them around and let them know what's what, where to go, what new uniform items to buy. They should have people telling them that but it's nice to have someone other than a grumpy yeoman lol just send me a private message and I'd be happy to help :)

 

Congrats to 180!!!!

We are in the room now we can not get Brandon untill about 3:00. The Graduation was AWSOME. wish I had saw more of you. Maybe I will sometime! My cell # is 336-479-3931 if you want to shoot me a text! We will be here untill sunday. Y'all have been great!
