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."

Looking to connect with anyone else who has a loved one on the same ship as my son.  I got a call from him today - I WAS SO HAPPY TO HEAR FROM HIM.  He needed information for his security clearance stuff so it was a quick conversation but I don't care.  It was just nice to hear his voice.  He sounded very tired but upbeat if that makes sense.

I do not have a personal facebook page.  Do I need one to see what is there?  Can someone give me the link to it?  Thanks so much.  And THANK YOU Bfive for entering the trivia contest.  CANNOT WAIT to see my SR and the division.

When the Picture comes up I (or someone else) will post it for you here if you like?

The Recruit Training commands facebook page is public so anyone can go to it right?  Worth a try - here is the link to the page!

if anyone gets their "I'm a sailor call" be sure to post it

Absolutely! I'll be checking to see if any of you get the call! I hope it's soon :D

Finally!  I got a wonderful long handwritten letter from my SR! :) He sounds great.  They are heading into the "last stretch!"

God be with them all as they face the final challenges ahead!  Will let you know if I get a call.  Hang in there everyone!

Hey everybody, I have a sailor! He called and we talked for almost an hour! Expect calls soon, ladies! (:

Hello everyone--we have a sailor!  He called around 1 pm--sounded good but tired.   Hope you all get calls soon!

Happy happy day!

Mine is a sailor too! Got my call at 10:30 pst.  Okay now an early question but then I am quite a planner--after graduation we move out of this group, all you ladies are great will miss you, and go into another group for the school/group our sailor will be in?
