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."

51 signed up for Thursday, April 24th dinner - Will you be joining us?

1 DAY to go ladies!!! Have you let me know how many seats to reserve for your family? All divisions and family members are welcome to join us for dinner.

I have reserved a room for dinner on Thursday evening, April 24th @ 7 pm at the Full Moon Restaurant which is just down the street from the base.

The website for the restaurant is - www.fullmoonopen24hours.com

If you would like to join us for dinner, please posted your name and head count with your ship and division # on this forum and I will try to keep a running total to submit to the restaurant the week before. We are hoping to make name tags (no promises) by screen name and division so everyone will know they have been chatting with.

Look forward to meeting everyone!

FANTASTIC!!! That was great. Thanks for sharing it.
There Will be two of us John and Maria Dees. Our recruit's name is Robert Dees, Division162 Ship 07.
I think I have already told someone, but not for sure, Me and my husband and grand daughter will be there,, Betty, Gary, Jayden. We are getting excited.. but still waiting for word tomorrow if graduation for my daughter is going to take place.. She missed her run by 3 seconds, so they morved her on friday to the FIT ship, and she takes the run again tomorrow, and she said if she passes it, then she moves on to battle stations on monday evening..So please everyone, please add my daughter Ashley Williams, to your prayers, because I want to see my baby girl so bad.. I am missing her so much...and I know her 17 month old daughter(jayden) is missing her as well

Betty
will add her Betty...She will get it I just know it :)
3 seconds no prob// and battlestations.. everywhere i've read i have yet to see a mom post that their son/daughter didn't make it..(knock wood) no way she can't pass and let you see her fridy, she's already been away from you too long gods getting alot of prayers these days, hope he can keep up *smile*
OH, to be so close and still not know. She is on my prayer list, as well as the rest of the family. One of my son's ran, but stopped on the side of the track to vomit, then he rain and finished in time. He was disqualified for stepping off the track. He made it the next time. I hope the angels are pushing her from behind.
poor boy got sick and STILL made time what an awesome kid!!!!!!!
I really think they should take some things in consideration, I can understand if they missed the run by a min. but 3 seconds, that really upsets me.. Her father called me today, and he is a cheif in the navy, and he told me not to worry. told me to go ahead with my plans with my flight and everything. he said with her on the FIT ship, they will work her and she will pass.. I told him he better be correct.. We are getting things ready for our flight, and our hotel room, we are going to decorate it all up for her.. We are so so proud of her, and I know her baby is too.. All I hear when she sees a picture of her, is MOMMA.. she will be so happy to see her mommy... and I will be too... Now as for going off the track, they should be glad he did, and didnt vomit on the track where others will run in it, and slip,, I just dont get the rules.. but I guess that is why I am not in the military....lol...
Decorating the room?!!! What a great plan Betty! Darn it ...the pressure of this site!!! Gotta go pick up room decorations NOW!!!
you should see the door thing my husband made.I am picking up some streamers for the room when we get there... Cant tell we are getting excited can ya....
Hi Betty, I do have you and your family on the list for dinner on Thursday.

And Ashley WILL do just fine!!!! See you at the Full Moon on Thursday night!
Thank you... I am sure she will.. but you know how moms are.. we worry.. I have worried so much that i have bit my nails off.. so now I have to go get my nails done tomorrow...:-)
