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 AJ on September 7, 2010 at 6:35pm: Wow! --- we are half way there --- to ALL of our divisions passing!!! Five down and five to go!!

What an incredible journey this has been, and no easy feat for us outside those gates at GL. This gets said so much that I fear it sounding glib --- but I sincerely could not have made it this far without you guys --- and you have no idea how deeply I mean that. This journey has been compared to many things in life --- but it really is a one-of-a-kind process that unites us --- for not only boot camp --- but all the days ahead for us as Navy Moms, Wives, Girlfriends, Grandmas, and Sisters of our Sailors . For all those ladies who have gone before --- and all those to come after us --- this Mom is infinitely grateful to you all.

Now I'm crying from no sleep last night and will do my best to wait until my turn for the long-awaited call tomorrow with as much grace, dignity and good-humor as I can muster --- and that being said, I may not be graceful, dignified, or funny at all between now and then.

A big BRAVO ZULU to all of you amazing ladies!

Comment by GM MSRON mom on September 7, 2010 at 6:34pm: I feel your pain proud!

Comment by MC Wife PIR9/10/10 SHIP9DIV302 on September 7, 2010 at 6:34pm: I would kick some butt if they lost our paperwork.

Comment by GM MSRON mom on September 7, 2010 at 6:33pm: LOL! MY sister joined the Army because she had done a wheel barrow of paper work for the Navy and they lost it! lol
They sure didn't make that mistake with me! lol Still have the wheel barrow! lol

Comment by Mrs.B_Div 302_Ship9 on September 7, 2010 at 6:33pm: Haha, my hubby said the shots were horrible...and he felt like a pin cushion. And yes, they are MORE than ridiculous with the paperwork..and lost some of ours along the way. I think I filled out enough pages for the whole Navy and besides...haha...

Comment by MC Wife PIR9/10/10 SHIP9DIV302 on September 7, 2010 at 6:29pm: Gosh. I never knew there were even that many shots one could get! What the heck are they all for?
But that is horrible. :[ They're ridiculous about their paperwork. When we got married I had to fill out about 10 billion things.

Comment by Donna-Amanda's mom on September 7, 2010 at 6:24pm: Congratulations 943,303 and 304. Can't wait for mine on Thursday after I arrive. I hate being the last to go LOL!

Comment by michellep-div303-PIR09-10-10 on September 7, 2010 at 6:17pm: He sounded better healthwise than he ever has, so that was good. Apparently there was some mix up with his second round of shots - they lost the record so he had to have them again.

Comment by MC Wife PIR9/10/10 SHIP9DIV302 on September 7, 2010 at 6:14pm: Well that's good that he sounds good and is still humorous. Yayy!! :]]

Comment by michellep-div303-PIR09-10-10 on September 7, 2010 at 6:10pm: I know, sorry. I totally disappeared and then couldn't get online from my blackberry.

G told me that he knew we (N4M moms) were up all night being crazy. He said he told his friends, "I just know my mom is up pacing around and has been waiting on a call since 6 o'clock this morning..." Then I told him about Sam blowing out the candle and me nearly killing him for ruining BS and jinxing him. He was cracking up.
