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."

Hey mooselover- I'm hoping y SIR is on track for his PIR. Got a letter this weekend that he has been sicker than he has ever been. I have seen that a couple SIR's whose mom's I talk to on here have been sent home :(. Per my son's letter, he'll be ok, but I will keep you posted since your guest is on his list............
Just received word that my guest won't be able to make it. And I am sorry to hear about your son. I read your message on one of the pages.
We are just praying that he gets better. He seems to think he will, kept telling me not to worry......I hope I'm just being a "Mom" and worry too much.
Sorry to hear about your SIR.What's making everyone sick-cold, flu etc? I've heard thru my son that a lot of recruits are sick.You can 't help being a mom and worrying.
Thak you :)

O.K. ladies (and gentlemen if we have any), let's try for wacky wednesday so maybe we can get a photo of our boys and girls. I'm gettin' mighty jealous!

Has anyone heard of BS-21 dates? Private message if so.....
have  you heard when it is yet?

OK Ladies, we have gotten pretty quiet on here!!! Time to start chatting it up bring ont he good news and stay strong for out SR's BS21 coming up soon and we need to support them all!!!!

 

Hope everyone is having a fantastic day :)

My mother got a very nice letter from my SR!!! It was better than getting one myself. It was so nice of hime..Makes me PROUD!
so i got a letter on monday. hes still doing great just way too tired. he said its so easy to fall asleep at attention which sounds so like him. lol. but no letter today.. maybe tomorrow. i dont have a specific mail day like some do. ive gotten mail monday, thursday, friday, and saturdays... so i kinda still run to the mail box every afternoon :) but has anyone found out how 334 is coming as a division. he doesnt mention too much about it. and anyone find out about battlestations. ive been asking him in nearly every letter for the past 2 weeks but he still seems to not say anything. maybe he just doesnt want me to know so he could suprise me with a phone call. but i WANT to know so i can have my blue candles lit.. although theyll be lit all next week and the week after but still :(... the days have started to slow down a whole lot.. but only 14 more days :) 
I have asked in many letters also when BS is to no avail. We do get 2 to 3 letters a week so hopefully I will hear something. Last week (15th) he said they had their 2nd PFA and several inspections like personal and weapons. He said some did well, while others did aweful. Although he did say more passed the PFA than the first round. Says the food isn't terrible but not home cooking. On the 18th he wrote that "hell" week was next week (at this point they should be in it) Next week will be firefighting , gas chamber and their final PFA. He indicated BS would begin at the end of next week? My guess is he doesn't know exactly.
