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."

SHIP 2, DIV 343

Just thought I would start the discussion.  It would be nice to get to know some of the families before graduation.

When I spoke to my son I asked him if he knew where he was going but I guess he hasn't been informed yet.  He enlisted in the Seaman Program or Seamanship Program.  He will be learning many Navy jobs over a 15 or 18 month period.  I can't wait to find out where he's going first.

I think he'll be going over to what they use to call Main side for training (old navy). Not sure what they call it now. You should have all weekend with him.

That would be great.  I planned on being there all weekend (from my Army experience, I just assumed I would have all weekend).  Either way, I have the whole weekend blocked of for the trip. :)

Hi Ladies, Just a reminder in order to protect our SR's, last names are not allowed on here. Didn't want anyone getting in trouble, so I hope you don't take this in the wrong way.

Thanks :)

Ok ladies, apparently we are not allowed to share names on this site.  So if you would, please remove any post that contains your SR's name.

Hey that's okay. We all know they don't need to get IT because of us dumb moms.

Hi everyone. 24 days. Anyone else getting excited?
Permalink Reply by Michelervc on September 19, 2011 at 7:33pm
Yes I am very excited just getting ready to book our flights and rental car.  Even though our son is staying in Great Lakes we are leaving Sunday morning.  The difference in airfare for the five of us to leave at 9;00am as opposed to 6:00 pm was like 1000.00   It would only work out to about five more hours with him.  I feel really bad but at least we will have all day Saturday with him.  Does anyone know how long they stay in A school and if they are allowed home for holidays?

It depends on the A school and how close it is to home.

PIR is getting closer and closer for this PIR group. I still can't believe September is almost over, Here is just a heads up, I am working on the ribbons for your group to wear to PIR, I have several that I haven't received the payment for so if you ordered and forgot to send your payment please remember to do that :-) I will begin mailing the ribbons for this PIR group very soon. If you have any questions at all send me a message or a friend request and I will get back to you ASAP. Thanks so much!!! I hope you all get some awesome letters and fantastic phone calls this week.  If you haven't seen the Encouraging questionnaire I posted in the discussion be sure and check it out. This is a really good time to send it. It is funny and has a really encouraging paragraph in it about battle stations. You can even send a couple extras for them to share with their friends and they can fill it out and send it to their family. You guys are awesome, Thanks again, Lala
