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 zStratMom on March 2, 2012 at 10:40am: HannaKathryn - I would let your professors/class know you may get a call, set the phone on vibrate, and sit near the door to minimize disruption. I did that for both class and work and everyone was supportive. Then you're covered regardless!

Comment by Anna Aviation Mom on March 2, 2012 at 9:55am: Gosh can't sleep so excited. It's 5:55 am in Cali

Comment by jennyemt713 on March 2, 2012 at 9:45am: My phone is definately glued to my hand today. It is an exciting day for them and us!

Bahkmom - I totally agree - I will be pacing next week as well. I bet I will not be able to sleep the night before because of the excitement.

Can't wait to start seeing the messages pop up saying everyone is getting their calls!

Comment by HannahKathryn17 on March 2, 2012 at 9:17am: Is there any possibility of them calling earlier? I'm just wondering because I have classes until 1 eastern time and I wanted to let my professors know if there was a chance.

Comment by harpist mom on March 2, 2012 at 9:08am: Yes, bahkmom! I can hardly wait to see my son!. What an exciting day!!

Comment by diannep on March 2, 2012 at 8:58am: Ok, ladies. Hoping that 081/082 went through BattleStations last night. They would be finishing up about now. Will have a capping ceremony, where they trade those RECRUIT caps for their NAVY caps. They are sailors then! Calls can start about 2 pm GL time today...will go on for a good while---please ask if all in that division passed and post here. Some may have "watch" and may miss calling today with their division. They should be able to call later today or over the weekend (hopefully!).

So keep those cell phones handy! Even when going to the mail box or the bathroom....they should have a bit longer to talk on the phone today. Also, if you can get on your new sailor's FB, do that too. If lines are long for the phones, many opt to pay for computer time and post on FB. Many moms have been notified that they have sailors this way!

Good luck! Happy to welcome the first group of sailors for this PIR group today!

Comment by bahkmom09/86 on March 2, 2012 at 7:36am: Good Morning all!!! In exactly one week we will be pacing the floors waiting to head over to PIR!!!

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on March 2, 2012 at 12:28am: Yeah Amy...humor is a good thing...and it can be a good way to correct positively without "getting" on someone!

When my Hubby and his team came back from Iraq...we were getting ready to leave the airport. They were in there uniforms and we had had he "initial allowed" kind of longer PDA greeting (LOL). So one guy was still hugging his GF and hubby was going to give them a debrief and said, "Gather up...and someone get a stick and hose for #####." A "humoruos" reminder that he should be "done". LOL

I doubt it too ;-)

Comment by diannep on March 1, 2012 at 11:32pm: Good night all! Blue candles lit tonight!

Comment by AmyaodRN on March 1, 2012 at 9:50pm: I wonder if he told him "hey that's my mother you're talking about!" lol. I doubt it.
