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 pahoapam on July 17, 2010 at 12:30pm: Welcome momofthree!!!! I'm not sure what exactly you mean but if you are referring to 66-2, yes. 66-1 has finished BCT and will join with 66-2 once they have finished BCT. (Or at least that is my understanding!

As of yesterday there were 7 DORs, so prafy for those guys and the next mission they will go on to in their Navy careers!!! I hope you all have a great weekend!!! Hooyah!

Comment by momofthree on July 17, 2010 at 9:35am: Hey Everyone ! My son arrived with Diana's - I am curious, do the class "numbers" follow in order like the SEAL class numbers ?

Comment by wyomingmom on July 16, 2010 at 3:24pm: Hello SWCC moms. I just wanted to wish all of you a happy weekend. I hope everyone is doing well.

Comment by Diana on July 13, 2010 at 7:25pm: My son arrived in SD last Friday and is loving it!! He was reunited with his friends in the BUD's class 284 and has been informed that he will be in class 67-1. Is there anyone else on this site with a son who will be in that class?

Comment by wyomingmom on July 12, 2010 at 8:26pm: Hi Ladies. A very emotional day for me. Thinking of the guys Classing up and also took my daughter to the airport to go to Australia (9 days) then to Hawaii for 4. Man these kids grow up fast. Tennismom. My son said to tell you sorry he did not meet up with you while you were out there. Maybe next time. Pam. hang in there. I used to be bummed that my son was inthe DE program for so long. Looking back, I am very happy about the wait.....because I get to share this experience with all of you. THANKS. GO BOYS GO.

Comment by pahoapam on July 12, 2010 at 12:06pm: Hey Ladies!!!! SWCC class 66-2 classed up!!!! Yea!!!! I know you are all excited as am I. Talked with my son last night and he told me-hey if I don't call it means I'm still hanging in there!!! so I guess we will see. Tennismom-I'm so glad your son got to class up with us!! And I'm glad but jealous that you got to go out there!!! lol!!! I heard it is so beautiful! Anotherproudmom-there is no "formal" graduation ceremony, but parents do go. At one of the last ones, the guys had just literally finished "hell week" and they stood on the beach in their dirty clothes and got pinned! But some parents do go. If my son makes it I can assure you I am going!!! lol!! If everything stays on schedule as of right now they will finish in mid-December, but that is highly subject to change. BCT ends August 23rd and the rest will depend on whether they go immediately into CQT. Best bet is we will know more after BCT ends on aug. 23rd. I hope everyone will keep us posted on any progress/stories you hear. Congratulations to everyone! We begin again....

Comment by anotherproudmom on July 12, 2010 at 11:38am: I posted on the other swcc site also but, I was wondering if anyone knows about swcc graduation if the familys go or when it would be. I realize it is a long road ahead , I was just curious of what month it would be. Sure hope they are all getting along well today.

Comment by proudlimom0721 on July 12, 2010 at 11:24am: Hi Ladies.....I can't believe today is the day!!!! Our Roller Coaster Ride begins again......I hope everyone is doing well. I am praying for all our boys--Good luck to all of them!! Pam--I am praying that everything will be fine with your son!!! Have a great day everyone!!
