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."

For our Sailors - the Father's Blessing
Numbers 6:24-26 from the NIV

May the LORD bless you and keep you;
The LORD make His face shine upon you and be gracious to you;
The LORD turn his face toward you and give you peace.

I especially like it from the Message translation

God bless you and keep you,
God smile on you and gift you,
God look you full in the face
and make you prosper.

May these words ring true for each and everyone of you!

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on September 24, 2010 at 3:11pm: Wow, just 2 weeks left. I have loved talking to everyone in this group. You all a great bunch and I feel like I have really made some new friends. Your ribbons will be arriving now. That is always a sign that PIR is very close. Please let me know when they arrive. You don't have to send a message unless you want to, just a post on here and I will see it. Thanks so much for making me a part of your group. Enjoy your PIR and wear your ribbons with pride, I know you will. Have a great weekend everyone. My sailor is coming home today!!!!!

Comment by brittanysmomShip10Div332 on September 24, 2010 at 3:02pm: Ok so I have to share a short funny that my daughter sent to me in a letter yesterday. Letter starts out I miss you guys a ton and thank goodness there is only 2 1/2 weeks left when you get this.
Then it says, I want to tell you my bunk mate is hilarious. These are the funny parts of Boot Camp: When your bunk mate wakes you up at 2 in the morning and ask you what she should do because she wet the bed. I woke up and was confused. I told her ask laundry crew so she did. We have been laughing about it everyday with her, she remembers feeling really relaxed, lol.
I thought, really is that what my letter is today, but then again, she wants us to know that it is not all boring.
Hope you all enjoy that...

Comment by Judy Proud Mom on September 24, 2010 at 3:01pm: 2 Weeks!! Why is it that I am getting more nervous as we get closer? I am so afraid of getting a call that he will be held back, and the rug will be pulled out from all of us. My husband keeps saying no news is good news, but to me, no news is hell!

Comment by kate0818(Ship10 Div 337) on September 24, 2010 at 2:02pm: I second Jessica-Ts mom " LOVE THAT CLOCK!!!!!"

Comment by kate0818(Ship10 Div 337) on September 24, 2010 at 2:00pm: Tiffany best of luck to you and your sailor, I hope all is well!

Comment by Karen1913 (Ship 10, Div 336) on September 24, 2010 at 1:24pm: Also got a call today. Said that fire fighting is next week and BS the following week. Div 336 has earned a bunch of flags. All recruits got a ribbon because they are enlisted and we are in time of war. Finished his live weapon shooting. He will be at ET (Electronic Technician) and will be at A school or over 200 days at Great Lakes. So good to get to talk to him and only 2 weeks until I can hug him. He asked that I have his aunt bring cookies and goodies that she always makes at Christmas. Sounds like they're all wanting sugar. We leave to head to the midwest a week from today. Yeah!!!

Comment by Jen - Ship10mom(Div340) on September 24, 2010 at 1:20pm: WOW!! Div 336 must be doing a stellar job!!! Good for you guys!

Comment by 10/334-GC-ET Mom on September 24, 2010 at 1:19pm: Good for 336 and their families. Waiting for 334 to call. Come on 334, dial those numbers!!!!!

Comment by Arianna24419 on September 24, 2010 at 1:14pm: Div 336 got calls today again!! 2 20 minute calls in 2 days!! 2 must be our lucky number! 2 weeks left everybody! Can't wait!!

Comment by Karen ~ Corpsman Chris' Mom on September 24, 2010 at 1:01pm: Ohionavymom~sorry to hear about Katlyn. Please keep us posted. I understand how difficult it is when your recruit experiences a set back. But I'm sure she'll be fine and her new div will except her and welcome her just as my sons new division welcomed him. Also the moms here have welcomed me and I'm sure Katlyn's new division of moms will welcome you too! Good luck to your daughter and please continue to keep us posted.
