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 am so excited I can barely contain myself ... in 5 days I will be able to see my SR and a quick hug ... I will take what ever I can get ... last letter was very upbeat but again no information but I knew I would be guessing the whole time before she left.  Have my ticket, parking pass, and hotel now I am just impatiently waiting to see MY SR!!!

 

I'm doing the oh my god dance every hour it seems like haha. I can't believe in a few days I'll see my SR! I'm so ready and so thankful for all of ya'll here on N4M and on the FB group :) I know my kitties think im loco for acting so silly. haha

btw- realized something funny today. I've been married to my SR for 3 months now. We've officially been married longer than Kim Kardashian haha xD

Has anyone heard who won Captain's Cup?

285 won, but I haven't heard of another...usually there's an all male division winner, and an integrated division...

 

Thanks!

Hello all,

I was wondering how do we know if our SR's will have time before they are off to A school?

 

Sr mom 2 times~ GL A school usually gets the weekend (after they check in after PIR). All other schools usually only get Friday, and then perhaps time at the airport on Saturday.

Important*~ It does not always happen this way! Under certain circumstances some SRs may have more of the weekend instead of flying out right away. Only your SR will know this, and probably won't know until PIR....

Thank you! I hope she has more than Friday :)

 

Have any 287/288 parents heard about Battle stations yet? My son is 943 and I've heard zilch. Hope all of you are well and SR's too!

I haven't heard anything about Battlestations.

haven't heard anything about battlestations either ... hopefully she will give me all the info in her call she promised me tomorrow lol

 

My SR is going to A school in MS and last we heard, he's leaving on Sunday.
