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."

OPSEC, OPerational SECurity, is always of the utmost importance. Please take the timeto read the OPSEC and Community Guidelines. A quick note here: Last Names of Recruits/Sailors are not allowed on this site. If it is different from your Recruits it is still not recommended. First Names and pictures of your Recruit are allowed but remember someone can easily match them up with their "mom". So you might want to consider changing your profile picture.

However we want to pick colors for our division/ship. Could you let me know what colors are available? Not sure how this works, I am sooooo sorry! Crazy here with 5 kids home. I try to read as many as I can... and I am sure I've missed a lot :( Thanks again! I really appreciate your help! And if there is other parents out there with their daughters in ship 03 and division 096 please let me know!!!!!!

Comment by diannep on February 22, 2012 at 8:56am: Good morning, all! Lala, tried to interpret what you wrote (with google help!). I should know more Spanish than I do, being a native of Miami...I did understand SOME of it...not all. But it gives me good practice!

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on February 22, 2012 at 7:39am: Oh my goodness A' I am sure she is very upset about loosing it. I would have her double check everything and ask at the school office in case someone found it and returns it. I really hope she finds it.

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on February 22, 2012 at 7:36am: HI PamShip2div919-

Realmente espero que usted recibe una llamada telefónica maravillosa muy pronto. Puedo decir queestamos muy orgullosos, pero extraño mucho. Al igual que nunca soñé que mi hija iba a unirse a la marina de guerra. Sin embargo, ella lo hizo y ahora que es un marinero le encanta. Si usted tiene alguna pregunta en absoluto por favor pregunte. Estamos aquí para ayudar. Bienvenido a nuestro grupo.

I also used google translate but it only offered one form of Spanish so i am not sure this is right or not. I hope it is :-)

Comment by Pam on February 22, 2012 at 12:46am: A' Yes, I am proud of my daughter. Thank you. I pray for all of them every day. Good night

Comment by A` on February 22, 2012 at 12:35am: Pam, Im sure Your daughter will make a wonderful Sailor! One that you will be proud of! Sailors can be sweet and hang in there, you will hear her voice soon! I waited what seemed forever but it was not. And our call only lasted 10 minutes! At first I cried and then smiled and it was the best 10 minutes ever!

Prayers for all the SR's family!
