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."

Yahoo !!! Got the call I have an Official Sailor!!!!!!

Wow! That is awesome. I got my call as well today. My son is officially a Sailor and I am one proud momma!

WOOOHOOO!!  got the call yesterday! My son officially a Sailor! So proud of his accomplishments so far!

 Yup it was fun to get that call. My new Sailor was soooo excited.
He said he wants to go eat ribs ( thinking Carsons in Chicago)

But of course my momness thinks the kid will be wearing his Dress whites!!!
 Whites and Rib BBQ sauce. So unless he has learned to eat them with out dripping etc we might change the menu

 Have a good day!!

Order in and bring a change of clothes for him

Have him order boneless if possible and have at it...with a knife and fork of course!!!!! LOL!

Anyone one on Div 268 get the division t shirt and would like to share what it looks like. it would be greatly appreciated!!

Cant wait until Fri 9/7.
I dont know who is more excited to see the New Sailor!
His dad and I or his siblings
oops.. cant forget his Grandma who is coming too (Grandpa was in the Navy also- he would have been uber proud).

But whatever - I have called the first hug so they better not get in my way : )

 

Leaving for PIR!! See everyone tomorrow!!! So excited to see my Sailor Son!

Everyone have a safe travel to Great Lakes! Can't wait to see and meet everyone!
