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."

To my3sons (Ship 14 Div 193) - thanks for the information about the meet-n-greet - don't know if I will be there for that. We are on the western edge of IL and driving to Waukegan in the afternoon on Thursday May 20th. I know it is at least 1 3 hr drive and not sure with the traffic what time we will get there but, I will see if we can leave earlier to try and make it.
I would like to attend the meet and greet.. Can you please provide the information on RSVP'ing? Thank you

Traci

Eric said he wants a shower by himself and a coke. We have a store here that makes their own hot sauce and he wants us to bring some with us. Not sure how to do it yet as I can take it in my carry on, more than 3 oz.

I'm in a meeting all day on the 19th. Just going to put my phone on vibrate and excuse myself. I won't get to talk to him very long, but will get some time. Maybe he can call his dad also.
Got to Love Cell Phones..10 Days!!!!
We are doing ok... Dani hurt her ankle pretty severely, had to have several x-rays; so I was worried that her PIR would be changed, but I have not heard from her. So I am crossing my fingers that the 21st is still a go. My husband keeps telling me that no news is good news…..really missing her…..10 more days!
I hope Dani is doing better and she will get to keep her 21st PIR date. Especially after working so hard for this long. Will keep her in our prayers.
Dani called today... tired, but very excited. It was so wonderful to hear from her. Turns out she broke her foot in four places... finished bootcamp anyway. She is so TOUGH!

Can't wait to meet everyone at the meet and greet.........

YEAH DIV 193!

Traci
Postive thoughts to Dani and You....
I'll ask Trevor for an update.....
Thank you very much. We have not been told that she will not be graduating, so we will be there on the 21st.....See you all there and thank you to everyone for thier thoughts and prayers.
Trevor said they Kick Ass...Today!!!!!!
