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 July 21, 2012 at 2:43pm: Ooops....Angie. Kind of disagree with ya on the extra guests. Those of us who have been on these sites for a couple of years now have found that all are getting in. Even in the PIR group of 14 divisions....all got in. Same with the group that had 13 divisions.

Soooo.....ladies, please bring the extras. Because chances are, they will get in to see the ceremony....and if, by chance, they don't (they would then stay in the Visitors Center), they will get to spend that day with your new sailor!

And, also, Lala's people on her sailor's list couldn't make it. So they brought their "substitutes" and had no problem getting in. She has posted that many times on here.

Just wanting to correct this info since we know so many want to go. Sadly there are so many sailors who will have no family/friends there so there are spaces. It is such an awesome ceremony!

Just a heads up!

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on July 21, 2012 at 2:02pm: Angie that's mean! LOL

Really agree with the glitter thing though(don't mean you will dump some in...but some cards have sprinklings of it)...it's invasive and hard to get rid of. They have inspections and you wouldn't want them to take "hits" (points off) for inspections.

Comment by Proudmomof2navysailors Div 285 on July 21, 2012 at 1:36pm: Angie6... You might be messing with FTLW but some of those are legit questions I have. Lol I have only been to PIR as a recruit , so I knew what I was gonna wear. :) now as a mom I don't want to over do or under do it. Haha
Also, are the sort of assigned maybe by DIV?

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on July 21, 2012 at 1:24pm: That's great Angie...so whaddaya want to know?! (VBG) LOL

Seriously, congrats and I wish him the best!

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on July 21, 2012 at 1:21pm: Oh no, oh no,...and I know that Craig will know him...he worked at the same place that all the military personnel do. :-(

So senseless...my heart is heavy today.

But we are celebrating hubby's B-Day today (I haven't mentioned anything to him - though he may know already and is not saying anything to me!)...so I will "lift myself up"!

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on July 21, 2012 at 1:05pm: TrudyK, Yay for the letter! Woohoo!

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on July 21, 2012 at 1:05pm: Hi Dianne, just popped in for a few minutes. On our way out now. I'll be back on Tuesday for sure.

Comment by TrudyK on July 21, 2012 at 1:00pm: Finally got our letter today. I rushed right out to the post office to send off all the letters I've been writing. My son is on Ship 02 Div 943.

Comment by diannep on July 21, 2012 at 1:00pm: Welcome to the group, Bernice! Stay on this page for lots of info during your journey through bootcamp!

Hi, Betsy! Hope you are having fun!
