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."

Thank you.... she is so sweet, but needs a lot of attention and training!

Oh, and here is my son, Patrick... the one on the right.

What handsome son! So proud!  mine was standing against the wall 3rd one from the left in the 20th PIR pictures..Hope we can see more of them this PIR 2/27 then the real thing baby!!!YAHOO!

Very handsome! OMGoodness I can't wait to see our boys on Friday!

ok pictures tomorrow from PIR and our performing div,, then awaiting call on monday Jan 30th ... long next few days... come on 2/3..lol

Well, it is Captains Cup Day!!   Go 911!!    I got a letter Friday and he said that they should be doing the battlestations Sunday.  Looking forward to meeting everyone!!

As soon as we start finding out if our SRs are sailors... please post!  I'm really getting excited!

monday someone around 4 or 5 chicago time is usual time.....can't wait!!!

I do not what is going on and why our div is the last to go thru BS, but my son said it was Sunday, so I have been sitting on pins and needles since then...and keep seeing everyone getting calls...ugg!! so frustrating.  I am sure they will all pass, but I have family coming with me and do not want to change plans if something goes wrong!  I am praying for our SR's to do well and to be strong!! Work as a team!  Do you think they could be the next Hall of Fame Div?  Would be way cool!

Annie, I am with you, while I am happy everyone else received a call, I'm getting impatient and very excited at the same time... ups and downs, frustrating!  :)=

 

I hope they are all working as a team and yes, how exciting to think they could be the next Hall of Fame Div!  Let's keep our fingers crossed we'll hear from them tonight.  I saw a posting earlier that stated the last 900 division that went through was able to call home 1 full day after their BS.  So they may be doing the same??
