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 LynB on September 11, 2010 at 9:37pm: Thanks Stacie! Can't wait to hear from everyone who attended. I talked to my son immediately afterwards and couldn't understand why he said "I managed not to faint". There was fainting? Bless their hearts - those poor kids who had just gone through BS must have been utterly wiped out. They sort the divisions by height so my kid was in the back and said he didn't see much of the ceremonies that went on up front.

I've gotten one photo and he has a rather wry expression, but I must say does look fantastic in the uniform. I'm still dying for him to get in a spot where he can get on Skype and we can have a nice long chat.

Comment by Kim~Ship 9 Div 301~PIR 9/10 on September 11, 2010 at 10:55am: Still floating on cloud 9 here too, although it was hard to go down to breakfast this morning and see everyone with their new Sailors.....A had to leave during the night for Pensacola. Every minute spent with that boy was so worth the trip though!

I can't say enough about the bond I have with my N4Mom ladies. I can't imagine Mike and me not having you guys to share this experience with...I look at the people here who don't have this bond and kinda feel sorry for them...LOL. It seems everywhere we go, we run into a mom/dad we know! It is awesome! Helps by having a lot of us at the same hotel too.

Comment by michellep-div303-PIR09-10-10 on September 11, 2010 at 10:21am: Newmom - I don't have pics of the choir but they were AMAZING. You should be very proud.

Comment by diannep on September 11, 2010 at 10:10am: Great pik, zach'smom! Such a proud moment, isn't it?????

Comment by newmom60 on September 11, 2010 at 7:13am: My daughter belongs to Division 945, member of the choir. If anyone has a picture of the choir, PLEASE share it with me. In the Facebook picture her face was partially cover by someone face. Thank You......Congratulations to all the new sailors!!!!!

Comment by AliciaH*Ship09Div306/PIR9-10-10* on September 11, 2010 at 6:04am: I must agree. My husband is 28, and he even has a new spring in his step. And I'm soo happy for that!

Comment by Whaletalkers on September 10, 2010 at 11:12pm: Congratulations to all the New Sailors and their families!!

Comment by diannep on September 10, 2010 at 10:32pm: Such great news, Michelle. And what a HAPPY picture!

Comment by michellep-div303-PIR09-10-10 on September 10, 2010 at 8:59pm: Yes, LynB! My son, too. You can just see this new confidence in the way he walks, speaks, etc. It is hard to say goodbye again but so much easier seeing just how happy he is. He's lit up from within!
