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 AED's Mom (Ship 02 Div 907) on January 8, 2011 at 11:14pm: Blessed, My daughter had failed one of her written test also, but passed the retake, she told me if she hadn't passed the test she would not have been able to do Battle Station's. So if your son past the second test and did Battle Stations then I pretty sure very thing is okay.

JulieD so sorry to here about your sailors, but everything will work out.. Julie do you know when your daughter will get to do Battle Stations, I pray for both of you.

Comment by idahojeep on January 8, 2011 at 10:06pm: What an awesome day at graduation yesterday! I am so proud of my sons and all our sailors. Thank you to all of you for your support throughout these long months. We spent all day today at Ohare with our two sailors just to be able to spend more time with them.

I love all of you, the support you have given, and was so glad to meet many at the M&G and at graduation. Thank you again and HOOYAH!

Comment by Madonna on January 8, 2011 at 8:42pm: Graduation was awesome ! Never in my life have I been so proud. Son had liberty till Sunday so we got to take him back to the hotel with us. The respect he was shown by strangers was unexpected and made us even prouder. Hip Hip Hooray !

Comment by PreciousMom (Ship 12 Div 038) on January 8, 2011 at 7:07pm: Flying out to NC........now. I really enjoyed my visit to Chicago. I hope to see my daughter again real soon.

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on January 8, 2011 at 6:54pm: A heads up for anyone flying home tomorrow afternoon evening. Atlanta is expected to start canceling flights to and from Atlanta tomorrow evening beginning around 6 pm. Big winter storm hitting the south starting tomorrow early evening.

Comment by Annie on January 8, 2011 at 5:42pm: Haven't been on here for the past few days...sorry, ladies! Unfortunately, I couldn't make it to the M&G on Thursday night ;(

Graduation on Friday was awesome. It was truly amazing to finally be there in person and seeing what they had accomplished in such a short period of time. Bravo Zulu to all of our Sailors!!!!

I saw that the RTC had posted the graduation pics up on their FB page and my family is in there. My husband was shaking hands with one of the Chiefs in the room and my son (he was wearing blue T-shirt says 'Navy Son' and blue camos pants) w/a big smile one. My niece, Maddie, was smiling at the camera too ;)

Liberty time felt so short yesterday. My husband was so happy to see us. He was checked in his A school at Groton, CT as of 1pm. They get to have their cellphones/computers with them....I thought it was going to be a few more weeks until they're allowed them to have all of that ;) I'm just glad that we'll be able to communicate more often now!

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on January 8, 2011 at 5:04pm: And what's wrong with being a little crazy? lol

Comment by rickysmom0403(ship 12 div 034) on January 8, 2011 at 4:42pm: we are enjoying our day with son. He took us to the Field Museum in Chicago. we are now heading to Wisconsin state line my youngest wants to buy cheese in WI!!!!! oldest thinks we are crazy!!!!

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on January 8, 2011 at 3:27pm: I was wondering if everyone got their ribbons that were shipped to the Residence Inn. I sure hope so. I know they arrived Thursday afternoon because I called the front desk lol.

Comment by tnchell (Vinson Mom/VFA-113) on January 8, 2011 at 1:37pm: Bonnie- too funny about why they called Becky up yesterday, I was wondering what that was about when it happened, lol. I have enjoyed bumping into you and your family at the Residence Inn several times and tell your daughter thanks for the info on the e-cigs, going to check into them as soon as I get back home!
