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 FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on July 20, 2012 at 7:53pm: All I can say is YAY YAY YAY!!!

Comment by srmproudmom on July 20, 2012 at 7:36pm: OH MY GOD OH MY GOD!!!! I GOT MY CALL!!!!!!! He sounds amazing!! he made starboard watch (I hope that is right!! ) He has passed all his pt's he's first class, only one person higher then him. His division is doing well they did so well on their first exam they earned a flag. He carries a flag and stands front in line for the special guest to walk through for the PIRs. He was very up beat. It was just amazing to hear his voice. He is in charge and he said he gets yelled at alot for others not doing things right. I'm the happiest momma ever!!!!!!

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on July 20, 2012 at 7:28pm: Brandon DIV -Prayers going up! Thank you for letting us know!

Is his mom on this site? We have a group for the RCU. SHIP 04/ DIV2341. They are VERY supportive and helpful! Here is teh link:

http://www.navyformoms.com/group/ship04div2341

It can look inactive but I know moms that have gone through this monitor it...so you or she can post adn someone will come along! He will have a new address.

The two most that stand out in my mind was back in January. One had several stress fractures, actually both did, one just had more. Both healed and both became Sailors! Stress fractures are one of the more "common" injuries at BC and they know how to take care of them. There are phases to the healing process, as in how they progress and getting on to being cleared FFD-Fit for Full Duty.

After the initial shock of it wears off...he will be focused on healing and "carrying on"!

I am hoping he heals fast and well...he wouldn't have a new PIR date yet...not until he is FFD.

Hugs to your friend!
