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 have only found a couple of people in this group.  Please let me know if you are, as the different groups are planning on wearing certain colors of scarves to PIR.  Dana

that sounds good to me too. We don't have to look the same as long as they're yellow :-)
Has anyone gotten another phone call?  I just got the one.  I was hoping for another last week.  But, I have been getting letters every Wednesday.
I'm sorry to say I haven't gotten a call either.  In fact, I got fewer letters this week than usual.  My daughter said that she will using most of her time to study with testing coming up this week.  she was worried about not writing, wanting to answer my letters.  It doesn't appear that we will get a call until maybe next week or so.  They are all in my thoughts and prayers.  Keep us posted!
I haven't getten a phone call :-(. But I know this is hell week and they are very busy. I wonder if they are though it yet? I also read that after hell week they get to write more. I hope so. Can't wait to hear from her.

Hi again...I just was checking in to make sure we are all wearing yellow scarves.  There are some really nice ones on Amazon for under $10, a good place to shop.  Also, our sister division 145 are all wearing yello too, right?  I am looking forward to meeting you all.  In a few weeks we'll get to see our SRs.  YIPPIE!
sailormom that's a great price on the scarves! I already bought a yellow one though, oh well. Me and my other daughter will be wearing one. I don't know how many people are going to wear them. I hope 145 does too.
Thanks for the info.  I will check Amazon.  Looking forward to meeting everyone at the meet n greet.
I just purchased a bright yellow scarf on Amazon last night.  Thanks sailormom for the info.  Has anyone received a phone call?  I heard that some of the divisions were supposed to get phone calls today, so I was hoping for one.  But not yet.  Only 19 days left.  I can't wait!
I haven't gotten one. I received a letter from her yesterday. She is having a hard time. her knee hurts and she is on light limited duty and she is really scared of having to stay there 2 more weeks.
 juliea243- Sorry to hear that.  I'm sure she'll be fine.  You are both in my thoughts and prayers!
