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."

Just got a call from my son, Alex, Div 332...he is officially a SAILOR!!! He said they had their hat ceremony this morning, the Boot Camp part is officially done, and he is officially a sailor...YA! SO VERY PROUD of him and all of our recruits/sailors! Cannot believe we will see him 1 week from today!! Looking forward to meeting all of you as well! We will be at the Ramada's welcome reception.

He also found out he has been accepted in to the Navy's Ceremonial Honor Guard...what an honor!!! He will be going to Washington DC for 2 years. Could not be more proud of my son!!!

That is just amazing! Ready for our calls next week, but so very excited to hear about the calls coming in. DC for 2 years - how fun will that be? and an easy flight for mom to visit! :-)

Thank you! I am very excited for him! Fortunately, WDC is also a drive away for us, so that makes me VERY happy!

Good Luck to your recruit!!! And I hope you get a call very soon!
