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."

10 more days!!! Can you believe it!?

I hope it doesn't draaaaaaaagggggg by!

Oh, I am counting down the days as well!! can't believe it is this close... I was just writing to my son again - last monday he called....don't think I will get a call today .  Keeping all of them in my prayers that Battle stations goes well for them all.  does anyone know the date for battle stations yet?    take care

My husband heard from some other dads that battle stations is a day or two before graduation. I am not sure if that is correct information though. In my sons last letter he mentioned that they had taken their pictures and "they would be on the website soon", but doesn't say what website! Does anyone know about a website where the pictures might be?

10 day 14 hours 57 min 40 seconds.  and still counting!

Our son still has to pass his pt test.  Please pray for him.

I am praying for mine and all of yours too! I know they can do it, but without prayer I would be out of my mine! The countdown is amazing! Making up my list and starting to pack is making it so real. I am so proud of my son! I m proud of all of them! Can't wait to see him :)

Printed the parking pass last night making hotel and car reservations today.  Getting ready to go to GL next week.

printed the parking pass too!  8 days to go ....I hope and pray they are all doing well!  Safe travels everyone!

Loved seeing and holding that parking pass!!  

Our SR's are in their final stretch and nothing going to stop then from becoming Sailors!  HOORAH!

 

Hello -- we got a letter this afternoon from our SR....soon to be SAILOR!!!  He said Battlestations is Monday 30th!   so we might get a call on Tuesday that they are Sailors!!  so excited can't wait to see him and the PIR ceremony...  let me know if anyone heres anything different.   Take care

today is almost over and is over for some of you so we are at 6 days til graduation.  It has happened so fast I can't believe it's almost here.  I'm sending our Sailors extra good vibes this week for that last push.  All fingers, toes, eyes, legs, arms and everything else is crossed that they do well and sail through easy (yes pun intended lol)
