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 diannep on June 1, 2011 at 2:29pm: KCsMom/Squeekerz: Please stay on this group, ok? Because we need to tend to YOU all as RTC tends to your SRs. So don't go anywhere! :-)

Comment by Navymom on June 1, 2011 at 1:19pm: Lala Ribbon Queen

I was just reading about your ribbons. Are you still taking orders for ribbons for Graduation on June 17th?

If so, I would like 3.

thanks

Comment by Donna (Christopher's Mom) on June 1, 2011 at 11:05am: Squeerz and Kc's mom. I would love to drop a note or card. Send address please prayers and get well wishes to both.

Comment by KC'smom on June 1, 2011 at 10:29am: thank you!!! the link for the injured recruits is soooo depressing! OMG! You all are very blessed that your boys/girls are doing okay. I had no idea how many people get injured until I went to the other group!!

Comment by diannep on June 1, 2011 at 10:13am: Squeekerz and KCsMom: Letters are in the mail! Praying for your guys!

Comment by meryl (ship 09 division 208) on June 1, 2011 at 8:52am: Linda, I used a magnifying glass but I'm still not sure if I saw my son. He could be possibly one of three boys (I think) and I had to go by the ears and the top of their head, lol. Still, I'm glad we got a picture of their division. Sorry you didn't get a good picture either.

Comment by Linda on June 1, 2011 at 8:36am: KC's Mom I'm so sorry my heart goes out to you...like he said It could be worse. Well Meryl I did see the pic of the division If you use a magnifing glass it helps I think I might see my son but it's really hard to tell

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on May 31, 2011 at 10:48pm: Thanks so much Joy and Donna, I am so glad you love the ribbons i made for you. I know you all will wear them proudly to PIR. More were shipped today and more tomorrow :-)

KC- I am so sorry to hear that. I will keep you all in my prayers and I pray he has a speedy recovery. When you speak to him get him to sign that waiver if he hasn't already so they can discuss his medical condition with you and usually when they are recovering they get to call every week so hang in there :-)

Comment by Audrey on May 31, 2011 at 10:31pm: KC's mom-If you will email me his address, I will be happy to write. If you think he would like the encouragement, I'm sure my SR will be happy to write to him when he gets to A school. Maybe some post-grad news and adventures will help him keep his eyes on the prize and his chin up.

Comment by KC'smom on May 31, 2011 at 10:23pm: Thank you for your thoughts and prayers. Greatly appreciated. I am so in love with this site I will be here all the time!!
