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 hope so....thanks for the support. :)

It does help to know I am not the only one :-) Sorry I hope that doesn't come across mean! I hope you get your call soon! 

No doesn't come across mean at all! Just hoping that means that our SRs just haven't gotten their turn yet with the phone. Let me know if you hear from your SR! Thanks.

This is stressful. Whenever my phone vibrates, I go crazy! :P

I got my call finally!!!! He called about 2 1/2 hours ago. He had watch yesterday following battlestations and that is why he didn't call. Hope you get your call soon!! We got to talk for nearly an hour.

Woohoo...toldya...lol.

lol...such a relief!

Got my call too. :) He was having a crazy sugar rush because they asked to buy candy so they bought a boatload (no pun intended) of candy and they were all pretty hyper. LOL. He also told me a bunch of funny stories that I assume were REALLY FUNNY but he was speaking so quickly from the sugar that I could barely understand him...but it was cute hearing him talk about it anyway. He was laughing a lot. So happy. :)

*HUGS* Yay!!! I will finally be able to sleep tonight. They have changed so much...grown so much. How will we ever make it another week??!! I'm glad your SR called. No one quite understands the feelings mothers have for their children. He is ready for his next challenge. I truly am grateful to the RDC's of div 001 for showing him the potential he's always had inside but never recognized. Have a great weekend....hope to see you at meet and greet or graduation!

*HUG* WOO!!! They really have, it's an awesome feeling, :) I don't know how I'm gonna survive until Wednesday!! (I'm DRIVING down...16 hours! But I'm flying back!) And I hope I get to see you too!

Awesome! I got the call yesterday too! It was the best call of my life , so far :-) I was driving down the highway, I have never pulled over so fast in my life! The best feel knowing I have a SAILOR!!!!!  lol So happy to hear my son wasn't the only one on a sugar rush!   

LOL yes, I couldn't understand him at all. So happy. I was sitting in bed and my phone started going off and I nearly screamed when I saw the area code lol :)
