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."

Hey ladies, I hope you don't mind that I moved our page to our PIR group.  I read where we need to do this so that the other page can be cleared for the next group.  Plus this will be easier to keep up with!  lol  Hope you all are having a great day!

Bellaboo you made me laugh outloud! Sorry that thinking negatively gives you a stomach ache!!!I was thinking it was a little later yesterday when people started posting! Holding my phone just in case! lol
Well its 4pm where they are. Its only 2pm for me. But I think the calls started about 3pm-ish yesterday. I don't know. It's been really quiet on here this afternoon.
One woman said she got hers at 5:10! Now not sure what zone she was in! And you are so right, too quiet on here this afternoon!
Your right bellaboo it was about this time yesterday! I went back and looked and then looked at the time zones and she is about 1 hour ahead of me! I wonder what time they eat supper and if they get their calls before or after?
Any time MtnMom! Was happy to keep watch! lol Now bring on the calls!!!!!!!!
Sailorjay is 13/329 and just got a call!!! We should be tomorrow I guess!!! I hope. *bites fingernails* I don't know if I will be able to eat or sleep til I talk to him....OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*runs about flailing her arms like a madwoman*
This is sooo exciting!! I can't wait to go home so I can sit by both phones again! Only about another half hour and I can leave work. Bellaboo... I have a mental picture!!! You are so funny!
ROFL at bellaboo! Sometimes I wish I didn't know so much! Dang does anyone know how long (as in times of the day) they get to call? Ring phone ring!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'M ON THE PHONE RIGHT NOW WITH MICHAEL! WATCH YOUR PHONE! :)
I just got off the phone with Michael. OMG it was so good to hear from him. I missed his call because I was down the hall and I just started crying and then he called back. Gosh I miss him so much but he sounds so good. He had his wisdom teeth pulled (as did half the division). He said the food isn't bad and boot camp isn't bad. He is a little home sick but he is okay. We can't wait until Oct 1st. He past the swim test, the physical test and the written test. I AM SO PROUD AND JUST SO EXCITED I FINALLY GOT TO HEAR HIS VOICE and he already received some of our letters. YEAH!
Just got off the phone with DAVID!!!!! Woooo!!!! More in a few...the boss just gave me some work to do!
Their division got a flag for a 4.0 on a Group Test YAY 330!!!
I about peed when the call came in!!! I posted in main group but man it was like oral chocolate to hear his voice. And he cried so hard just because he misses me. Asked about our kids (the pugs) and if I had been getting his letters. I forgot to ask him anything i had written down. He is doing well despite missing us here at home. He only had like 10 minutes. It was hard, really hard to hang up the phone. I could hear the RDC in back telling them to wrap it up so I knew he had to go, but I listened for the click and he was gone. Ugh. My stomach hurts now, lol. I told him to focus on what they are teaching him and be a sponge. Told him, "Make your girl proud!" he laughed and than started to cry, lol. He's so damned cute. He cries at sappy or sad commercials on tv or movies too. Super softy. It's what makes me love him. But dammit I am so made I could slap every one of the turds, that got our time cut down, with a fish! Grrr. Turkeys! I am just glad a call got out. I wish I would have recorded it on my phone, I forgot about that feature. Crap! Next time...got remember for next time so I can listen to it and make sure I don't forget anything,lol. YAYAYAYAYAYYAYAYAYAYA!!!!
