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."

I ordered them from information that I found on this site.  Some discussions mentioned that they will have them for sale at graduation as well, but I just wanted to order them ahead of time.  I don't remember exactly what discussion I found it in, but I just googled it for you and this one came up which is a pretty recent one:

I received letter from my SR..very upbeat and excited with graduation so soon. He has found out who he will be rooming with in IT "A" school in pensacola already. He said he is a 22 SR from California....does anyone know who that is? He said he is engaged too...both these boys are wanting to get married...they miss their girls!

He is wanting to know if we have come up with ideas on something to do Friday...I haven't. I know we don't want to go downtown...too much time and busy there...We have toured Chicago before so just want something easy in Waukega area.  Any ideas?   He said his flight out Saturday could be anywhere from 3 am to 5pm and hoped we could meet him there. We do plan on airport time. He is hoping they get 4th of July weekend off.

Well, we didn't get a letter today, but my daughter, SR's big sister did. She read it to me, but I can't remember what he said to tell ya'll. He was telling her alot about the flags and what flags they had won and who was where in the formation.  She's a color guard instructor at the high school so they share the whole marching thing!  It was fun hearing him give her the detail.  He also said he didn't like his hair.  lol. ... he was a hairy fellow  ....wore at beard for years.  :  )  Can't wait til Friday!

Janetop: No, it's not my SR.  As far as what to do, I guess we'll plan once we know what he feels like doing. Haahaaa.  Looking forward to the extra time at the airport! At least hoping it's several hours.

 

Did you all send your last letter already? I'm thinking of sending my last one Sat morning.  Hope it gets there!

 

My son is the brotherdivision of  205 So they may know each other.. We are also looking for things to do on friday.
Twenty four hours from now, we'll all be in tears!  Can't wait for this long journey to be over, hopefully!  Thinking of you all as we wait for our SRs to become Sailors.
Just received a 40 minute call from my son!!!!  Everyone in  Div 205 PASSED!!!!  See you tomorrow!!!!
Just got off the phone with my Sailor!  YEAH!  As far as he knows, the whole of 205 passed.  They've been up since 5 am yesterday, did well, and are basically marching around to stay awake till bed time tonight.  He ordered the video of PIR as a gift for me so that I can see it.  I'm thrilled with his thoughtfulness.  I can't wait to see him in A school.
So thankful for the call this afternoon! We were on the road above Indianapolis and were stopped at a rest station when the call came through. Nukes don't fly out til Monday: ) So glad that's when we were planning to leave! Looking forward to seeing those of you who will get to come. For the rest of you, so glad we've shared this much of the journey together and we'll be shedding a few for you as they DIV marches in!
Safe Travels everyone and Congratulations!!!!
