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 Sunnyb on June 15, 2011 at 6:23am: Waiting for the next posts of "IM A SAILOR".....!! Blessings, ladies..!!!

My son said they were done with battle stations and offically sailors by around 6am, but had the hat exchange ceremony and other things to do. So I didn't get the call until 3pm my time. He said it really wasn't that hard... just the part about being up for 40 hrs. said he fell asleep on the toilet for 20mins. haha.. kay, not showing him this post. haha!

Comment by MamaCindy (MMW TM) on June 15, 2011 at 4:32am: I'm wondering if tonight is the 1st good night's sleep you moms from 203, 204 and 931 have gotten in 8 weeks or if you're too excited to sleep! About to head on our trek and wait for our SRs call. I am so thankful that I feel at peace with BS, and so thankful that he's a part of it!

Comment by Squeekerz on June 15, 2011 at 2:58am: I can't believe they'd do something like that! Now I'm paranoid about what could happen to my SR!!!

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on June 15, 2011 at 2:24am: Ladies, if you can't sleep...or rise real early...here is some fun stuff to read that will hopefully reduce some stress!

Good Luck to all remaining SR!

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on June 15, 2011 at 1:50am: SunnyB-OI! They got ya! So Sorry!

5, 10, 15...not cool!

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on June 15, 2011 at 1:47am: Congratulations to you all who have new Sailors!

I am keeping my candle "burning" (it's flameless) for all of you still going through BS.

I am sorry...have been very busy today...I will try to go back and read what I may have missed.

PIR-Binoculars...if you got 'em, bring 'em! If not, you can pick up a pair at Wal-MArt for probably close to $10.)). There is a Wal-Mart in GL. I stayed at the Navy Lodge and on the drive over to the Ramada saw it. I shopped on the way back to get some "staples" (snacks) and FORGOT to buy binos!

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on June 15, 2011 at 1:43am: Joy-how sad...so hard to have to such extreme things in one day. The poor mother...and in a phone call too.

Comment by Joy125 (FC Mom) on June 15, 2011 at 12:32am: Thank you Lala.....it is such a horrible thing for anyone to go through.

Patty, you might still need the kleenex, unless the handkerchief is awfully big! What a nice thought. I know your Dad will be with you regardless =)

Comment by Patty (Ship 2 Div 931) on June 14, 2011 at 11:30pm: Packing: GPS - check, camera - check, everything packed in his "black bag" - check. With all the crying we'll be doing - don't forget the kleenex. Oh, lightbulb just came on. When my Dad passed last year, I took one of his handkerchiefs to use during his services. I think I'll bring it Friday so I'll have a piece of my Dad with me.

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on June 14, 2011 at 11:10pm: Oh Joy, that is so sad. That poor young mom. I can't even imagine what she must be going through. My thoughts and prayers are definitely going out to her and her family.
