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."

Thanks for trying for us.  I teach school and don't have access to Facebook during the day, so you are standing in the gap for many of us.

Well another day and the mail women passed on by...... No letter. :( well I'm hoping tomorrow!!!

Same here.  I'm thinking if the mail went out on Monday, we have a better chance tomorrow or Thursday.

That's what I'm hoping for.....

Just saw this farther down the list of discussions and thought I'd repost.  I will be making a trip to the store in the next few days for a lint brush and adding this to my bag for the trip.

Be sure to bring a lint brush or sticky roll for your recruit to "clean up" his or her blues. The blues are wool and pick up just about anything. If you are bringing a pet, bring one of those sticky-tape rollers to de-fur your sailor. Bring a towel from the hotel or from home for them to sit on in the car or when you are out and about!

Spoke to Sarge today, posted info on mailing pics home on the main page. If you can't find it, let me know. But he also said if we have a good number of people attending meet and greet from our division, he'll reserve a table for us. And we could decorate it any way we want (balloons, ribbons, etc.). Maybe as travelmplans firm up, we can figure out how many will be going? Also, another event to wear our lala ribbons to?

Definitely an event to wear our ribbons and to wear our T-Shirts is we aren't wearing them to PIR!!!  That is the one thing I haven't figured out yet, what to wear to PIR.  We only have 36 days to figure it out!!!!!!

It would be easier ti pic what to wear, if the weather there could decide what it's doing. Heard it was around 60 yesterday!

Surely by April 13th it will be at least semi-warm...but then it is Friday the 13th so who knows.

In case you missed the note on the main 4/13 board, our SR's ARE getting our mail and did get to write on Sunday, but none have been allowed social calls yet.  So, go stalk the mailman!!!

no letter today! anyone get one yet?

No.  None here either. :(
