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 imajagtoo.ship09div207 on June 13, 2011 at 10:02am: Meryl, when is your son leaving for Groton? Mine still seems to think he's leaving the same day as graduation, but RTC says the guys who leave the state for A school never leave the same day as graduation - Sat. at the earliest...

Comment by meryl (ship 09 division 208) on June 13, 2011 at 8:59am: Squeekerz, 103 temp? Goodness, I hope you feel better soon!

Imagagtoo, my son will be going to Groton.

I am enjoying reading everyone's comments this morning. Good things are happening and everything is falling into place. Praise the Lord!

Comment by diannep on June 13, 2011 at 7:55am: Hey Tiff'sMom-Sharon: Wow, hard to believe it has been that long ago that she graduated! I remember you from that group. Time flies...as we get OLD! HA! So glad she is graduating A School now and moving on. Enjoy your time with her!

I agree with everything TiffsMom (Sharon) said. There is nothing like PIR...the school graduations, etc are wonderful because they honor our sailors and their hard work, but PIR is just a spectacular showing with so many new sailors in their finest, marching in unison....so, yes, you are in for a "lifetime moment" for sure!

Comment by diannep on June 13, 2011 at 7:51am: kathryn: The MeetNGreet is held each week the night before the PIR for all families attending PIR the next day, not just Navy for Mom families. So, yes, the MeetNGreet is still "on" courtesy of the Ramada personnel! :-)

Comment by diannep on June 13, 2011 at 7:48am: MamaCindy: Reading your post about the song "Strength will rise..." made me start singing the song as I was reading the posts! HA! I've always loved the message in that song and the melody! I agree that KCsMom and Squeekerz seem to have more peace in their posts...way to go, ladies! I know it is still not a "peaceful" situation all of the time, but realizing that this is out of our hands and is a prayer issue.....gives us a sense of peace. Praying for both of your SRs and the future that the Lord holds for each.

And, I agree with Lala...LOVE hearing your news, KCs mom and everyone else's . There is no rambling on here...it is all news we want to hear!

Comment by imajagtoo.ship09div207 on June 13, 2011 at 7:18am: anyone else have a Sailor going to A School in Groton?

Comment by pianomom1 (ship 11/div 203) on June 13, 2011 at 5:41am: to KC'smom--YOU ARE NOT BORING US!!! in fact, i have wanted to know how he was doing--physically and mentally. it really is ingenious how they keep dangling "carrots" in front of those who are injured--enough work, enough incentive, to keep them moving forward instead of backward. pretty smart,really.

and it had to encourage him to hear from so many loved ones in the family. will they let him and Sqeekerz SR study anything in the down time? to me, that would make a lot of sense--get AHEAD in the book work part of it or memorizing stuff.
and Squeekerz -- i don't know what all those titles mean that they are giving your SR, but as long as it makes him happy and content and fulfilled and moving forward, it is worth it

Comment by kathym(ship03div210) on June 13, 2011 at 1:05am: thanks, would never have found it. my plane gets in at 5am on friday, do you think you'll still be meeitng and greeting at the Ramada????

Comment by Squeekerz on June 13, 2011 at 12:41am: I'm so glad you got to talk to him KC'smom!!! i'm also so happy that there has been floating and other great things happening!! zomg it's exciting. Lol

My SR is still on crutches as needed, so he's still phase one. he's cool with that though. It gives him more time to truly sit down and think about what's best for him, and to talk to the Chaplain about it. :)

man.. with good news comes annoying news though. lol i currently have an icepack on my forehead 'cause I have a fever of 103.6 last time I checked. Bah... haha.
