OPSEC - Navy Operations Security

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 Jamie SHIP13 DIV 067 on February 28, 2012 at 7:58pm: 02/915. We have Sailors!!

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on February 28, 2012 at 7:52pm: Yummo...leslie! (I haven't fogotten about you dear,k?)

Comment by lesliet--son came home:( on February 28, 2012 at 7:48pm: Congratulations to those who are getting and have gotten their 'call'!:) I am excited for you all. DIV 080, you are in my thoughts and prayers!

Cheezeits and twizzlers--that is funny. On the questionnaire I received from my SR that he filled out before he went to Ship 5 he said he was wanting Mounds! lol

Comment by Connie (Ship03 Div 070) on February 28, 2012 at 7:35pm: Congrats to all of the new Sailors and families. Praying for safe travels and good weather for your PIR. Those of you awaiting calls, remember if there was a problem you would have gotten the call right away.

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on February 28, 2012 at 7:14pm: BARBYYYYY - ......YOU WILL GET THAT CALL!

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on February 28, 2012 at 6:57pm: Heeeeey...there was more to my dissertation! I guess I am too long winded!

All I talked about were the three reasons. Threat, weather and security's inclinations.

If the weather is not suitable then they will decide...problem with that is that you have to trek through it....but their decision.

Their inclinations...some are more inclined to allow it than others...if it's within the parameters of their job description and they deny it...again their call (bummer).

Threat...we are always at a certain DEFCON - DEFense CONdition level.(I think they use another acronym...but I can't keep up, LOL) This is usually posted at each gate on every base. If the DEFCON level goes up (actually the lower the number the higher the DEFCON level) then restrictions could be imposed...for the safety of the base and any civilians wishing to come on board.

Just in case it happens and someone thinks the security is just a "big ole meanie". LOL

Comment by Sarah's mom. Ship 07 DIV 077 on February 28, 2012 at 6:53pm: Congratulations ladies! I hope to get my phone call tomorrow for 077!

Comment by emmie<3 on February 28, 2012 at 6:31pm: Barby; he could just be on watch. Nathan told me Div. 75 were through with there calls half way through talking to me. :(

Comment by emmie<3 on February 28, 2012 at 6:10pm: Thanks so much FTLW, if I have any issues I will report back so future GF will know ahead of time. haha. But, I'm thinking I won't!

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on February 28, 2012 at 6:09pm: Congrats jackiequeen, kimmic and emmie<3! Woo-Hoo!

Ha, Ha, Cheezits and Twizzlers...I LOVE CHEEZITS! We had a joke about that on another PIR group. A recruit had eaten the RDC's Cheezits...and the Division got IT for it...you can guess what his nickname was for the duration of BC! Then his mom came on and posted a discussion and titled it "Cheezits Mom". She had found out becuase when her son called he said , "If you hear someone yell 'Cheezits' ...it's for me".
