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."

Comment by Coco on March 18, 2010 at 8:30pm: I love that all that difference cause its helping me make it through right now! So I now know that worst case scenario we hold our breath and just go...and know that in the past it worked. So it will work again! Can you imagine being out of town and facing the same scenario!

Comment by becky m on March 18, 2010 at 8:27pm: No one in his div got to call. I kept telling my husband and my daughter there is something wrong with my cell. They were like stop worrying if he didn't make it he would have called by now.

Comment by Debbie (Stephen's mom) on March 18, 2010 at 8:18pm: Becky, you are kidding, WOW! I think I would of died, yes Stephen called after battlestation, he loved it and they did great. He was very tired, I was also waiting right next to the phone. It is funny how we all have sailors in the Navy and it really is different for all of them.

Comment by becky m on March 18, 2010 at 7:11pm: I never got a I'm a sailor call.... we went to GL without knowing if he passed or not. I was a nervous wreck!!

Comment by Debbie (Stephen's mom) on March 17, 2010 at 7:36pm: LOL Michelle!!!

Yes I think it was Barb who offered her house. See you have to watch what you say. LOL

Comment by becky m on March 16, 2010 at 9:56pm: I was confused I thought PIR was this Fri....I asked cuz Battlestations are usually two days before. I got it now its next Fri. I left before so how cheap were the drings I would have drank more had I known LOL

Comment by Coco on March 16, 2010 at 9:07pm: Hey all...it was so great to meet most of you! I can't think of better group of women to spend the next 4 to 6 years sharing stories with!!!!!!

BTW - I agree the food stunk but who can really say a word when the drinks were soooooo CHEAP!

Sounds like according to N4M chatter that battlestations are either tomorrow or the 24th...which would be two days before graduation. No one in his division has gotten a letter confirming one way or another yet.

The potluck sounds like fun! Maybe we do that first and then try the barbecue when it gets warmer. If the men come to the barbecue maybe they can get a game or something going...cards...sports, etc.
