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 navynrocks (1201M) on August 10, 2011 at 1:17pm: Is THU -Temporary Holding UNIT? She should get a Medal in patience lol!

Does this unit give her down time to adjust and get rested up for A-School.

Congrats Acesmom !

My son should be seeing the Pneumnoia Therapist today and hopefully we will have news this week end.

Sandy , that is good news that in A School they run outside, cuz my son said same thing the air quality in this Gym is yuck.

Comment by Proudsistah on August 10, 2011 at 11:56am: navynrocks- my sister is still in THU waiting for orders...

she escorts the duty driver for the meantime...They drive recruits.

She really wants to get out of that place or atleast move across the street!

Comment by Sharon-Proud Sailor Mom on August 10, 2011 at 10:36am: Congrats acesmom! That is good news!!! I just can't stay away from this group. Each time I hear that someone got the "I am a Sailor" call", I get tears of joy for them - remembering how precious those words are - and inspiring to the one still working towards that goal! The prayers do work!

Comment by HM__Mom Ruth on August 10, 2011 at 9:32am: That's good. My girl said her ankles are swollen again.

Comment by Sandy's_sailor son on August 10, 2011 at 2:18am: sandy, I agree about the PFA being easier. My son said that they look at your test score as a whole. (running, situps, pushups, pullups.)

Comment by navynrocks (1201M) on August 9, 2011 at 12:12pm: Proudsistah, Has she left for her A school and does she have to run the 5 miles 3x week or at least i see where nuke school does. Now that is irony and on the 13th no less. It was just meant to be and she got thru it which surely makes her stronger.Keep us posted on her!

Comment by Sandy's_sailor son on August 8, 2011 at 10:42pm: Acesmom, Congratulations and Bravo Zulu to your son!!

Comment by Proudsistah on August 8, 2011 at 10:34pm: Acesmom- congratulations!!!! I am very happy everytime i hear this kind of news!!!

Comment by Proudsistah on August 8, 2011 at 10:33pm: Navynrocks- that's what happened to my sister.. She's been complaining to us during bootcamp that her legs were hurting that she thought she had stress fracture but did not want to report because she was afraid to be set back... The last letter we received from her before her final PFA, she was very scared to run because her legs were hurting so bad! And that day came, she ran miscounted her laps instead of doing 12 laps she did 13... But her legs gave up and broke her tibia... But here we are!!! She made it!!!
Do you know what's wierd? Just a trivia ;)
She broke her leg on the 13th lap
And while in FIT she passed her run on the 13th and last try

Comment by acesmom(ship:03, Div: 249) on August 8, 2011 at 10:16pm: I got the call today, he is a Sailor. (3 days after his PIR) I didn't expect it today because I didn't think they did Battle stations on Sunday. Praying that all of you get that call soon. it's amazing how that other stuff doesn't even matter anymore.
