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."

I am really getting antsy. This is my second kid in Navy Boot and it feels like the first!!!

man o man, still nothing! I can see div 921 is starting to make their calls.

 

oh oh - hope all is well.

i got the call!

 

Got the call! , My son sounded sooo tired, but he said that our division is one of the best divisions, that did worked real well with eachother! So exciting. I have tears in my eyes. He feels sooo proud of himself!
Got mine too!!!  Something about phone time before and after BS for the divisions.  She has one hour to talk!!!  So we talked and now she can talk with friends.  See some of you at the Ramada Hotel on Thursday night!
I got my call also .  He was so tired I let him get off the phone quickly to try and call his girlfriend.  So proud of them. :-)

Mine sounded tired too.  He also said the division worked very well together.  Said 12 hours felt like 3.  Flew by.  Can you believe we are already at 8 weeks?  My, time flies.  I can't attend (too expensive) but hubby is flying out tomorrow and is staying at the Ramada and will see you ladies tomorrow night.

So proud of our sailors!

Got the call!  We had one hour to talk as well.  So proud of our son.  Congratulations to all of our Sailors.  They have worked so very hard.  See you all Thursday or Friday!
Yay! We received our call! He said you're now speaking with Seaman Apprentice... see yall at PIR.:-)
Hi Ladies, how was your weekend! I was able to spend the whole weekend with my son. It was amazing. Where are your sailors now? My son stayed at the great lakes he is now in A school for corpsman, anyone else?
The weekend was good but went to fast.  We only had 8 hours with her.  She left Saturday morning for San Antonio.  When she landed on Saturday it was 97 degrees.  Quite a change from Great Lakes!  She says she likes it there already.  I am sure having some freedom back makes all of the difference.  Congrats to all of our sailors.  That graduation makes me soooooooooooo proud to be an American!  I wish the best of luck to everyone!
