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 ria5 (ship11div180) on April 20, 2011 at 8:19pm: 1fireteam- congrats on the call!!! very happy for you! and what do you mean you got 16 out of the 30??

Comment by Luvn_my_Navy_son(ship 11/div184) on April 20, 2011 at 8:12pm: Div 180 moms- So glad you are hearing from your SRs :) Hopefully Div 184 will be soon!

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on April 20, 2011 at 8:11pm: Got a call too! we got 16 out of the 30 as others were waiting, but I don't care because it was enough and it means that you all can get your calls too!

Here's what I know:

(He was at the NEX calling)

Is NOT a Recruit Petty Officer and that is OKAY with him!

Passed swim test. Yea!

Only passed push-ups on first PT. They are having it a lot harder because they are sick. He has a cold again(or still) but is fine he says, it just makes it a bit harder. Some are having to be discharged because of it keeping them down so much. :-( I'm sorry for that. It must be so frustrating to have it come to that.

No "hits" on his rack.Doing great on ironing - LOL!

Making friends and thankful for others helping him. So thank you to those SR and all you great moms out there for raising great young men!

He's IT and going to Pensacola and says quite a few will be going also. Says that "fly out" is Saturday "unofficially". But I am going to plan it that way. What's one more day? Plus, if it doesn't happen he might have a friend that has liberty that would like to get off base for awhile!

Says the food is "actually pretty good." Dessert! 5 fruits and veggies a day!

Hasn't written yet. Just hasn't had time, but is going to try too.

I sometimes wonder if I'm going to "survive" this! The call on Saturday was so short and "down". I am very thankful for this one.

Yea for the Division!

Comment by OMG hes a Sailor (div180) on April 20, 2011 at 7:57pm: I just got a call ! He called the GF first... He sounded great! He has passed all his tests, he said he got a 92 on his academic test (he does not get that from me! LOL) He said the DiV got a flag for the Academics! He said the Div is GREAT and is hopeing they will be a Honor div. He thinks they can do it! He said he is going to church with a few other SRs and has been every sunday. He said they also do bible study together every night. I hate I did not ask what guys he is talking about. But he did tell me that they have all talked about us talking to eachother! They think we are CRAZY! LOL I was so great talking to him! He said they should be able to call once a week. Im not sure if the RDC told them that or what but that would be great! Praying for calls for yall too!

Comment by ria5 (ship11div180) on April 20, 2011 at 7:30pm: that is understandable! thanks for the info though! : )

Comment by laurelbc 11/180 on April 20, 2011 at 7:25pm: I don't want to break anyone's heart if a call does not come tonight, but that is what I was told. They may have some call tomorrow because the whole division can't fit in the phone center at once. I have my fingers crossed for you.

Comment by ria5 (ship11div180) on April 20, 2011 at 7:21pm: ahh so they ALL get one tonight?

Comment by laurelbc 11/180 on April 20, 2011 at 7:20pm: Ria, 847 area code. My son said they are all calling in shifts and they ALL get a reward call. Let us know :)

Comment by ria5 (ship11div180) on April 20, 2011 at 7:17pm: and I am happy for you that you got both a letter and a call today! you must be a very happy mom laurel!

Comment by ria5 (ship11div180) on April 20, 2011 at 7:13pm: my SR said he didn't pass his PT test the first time but I am glad they are getting along!
