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."

CMOM~ the superwoman picture is BRILLANT! 

ITSN2BE~ can't wait to hear about BC from you. 

ITSN 2BE I am sure all is going well you would not have it any other way!  We miss your posts but glad you are finialy living your dream. I can't wait to hear all the Boot Camp stories.  Keep going it is only 8 weeks and then on to the real fun.

ITSN 2BE: I'm looking forward to hearing about your experience in bc. Keep your head up and be proud of yourself!! You are a wonderful woman and will shine. The Navy is VERY lucky to have you.

ITSN 2BE - You have been in my thoughts a lot since you left.  By the time you get this I figure you'll probably be in your 3rd week of boot camp.  Although I'm sure it's difficult to learn to basically start over learning things from the Navy's perspective, it probably helps a lot that you come from a Navy family.  The rest of us are just trying to get the rates and lingo down so you're already one step ahead of the game.  Hope that boot camp hasn't been too bad so far.  I know one thing; you must be one of the most mature people in boot camp!!!!  Plus you give great advice!!  I miss seeing you on here and hope that all is going well with you.  Take care and best of luck with everything!!!  Proud Na V Mom

Miss you on here!! Can't wait to get your letter so I can update you on our Calendar!!  You would be so proud of us "Moms"!

We sure are proud of YOU!! 

Heard you and my SR sat together for the "meeting".  I am so glad you two got to meet!!  I miss you on here!

Cant wait to get your first letter so I can send one to you!  Be sure to let us know who is not getting mail so we

can write to them!!  Keep Strong!!!

Hello ITSN 2BE ~

 

It has been two weeks since you left for BC and you have been in my thoughts often since you left.  Your posts on this board have been missed.

 

My son left for BC on Thursday, March 10, 2011.  He is in Ship 12/Division 158.

 

You have not missed anything here in the DFW area.  I'm sure it will be exactly as you left it when you come back for leave. :-)

 

Take care my friend,

Gina (in Hurst)

 

 

I LOVE YOU ALL!!!
