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 leslie (SHIP 11, DIV 370) on November 12, 2010 at 11:01pm: Well, it was so good to see my son. I did tear up....especially when they started marching in. And then when I saw my son.....boy, that just made me cry. Only because he looks like a totally different person. He has lost about 15 pounds but he said that bootcamp wasn't that bad. He has thanked us so many times for helping in go through this and him not having to go alone. I am so proud of DIV 370 for sticking in there and finally coming together and doing everything that they needed to do. I am really looking forward to picking up my son at 8 and spending ALL day with him. I have truly missed him alot !! Congrats to all !!

Comment by Heather(labellaleigh) - ETwife on November 12, 2010 at 9:44pm: Just dropped off Ben at the gate and i already feel a piece of me left once again. I know I'll see him in 12 hours, but it still doesn't get easier especially when I just got him back. I'm dreading Sunday already but I am going to make the most of the weekend! =)

Comment by Sharon ~ K's Mom on November 12, 2010 at 7:58pm: @Tobianne, we are hanging out relaxing with our boy. Diego is thinking about him and says that he is sorry that he didn't get to stay with the division. He is bummed, but says it could be for the best. Hoping Kyle liked his first week of work. We had a great day, it was a blast too meeting so many last night. Met another mom this morning, she wasn't on here at all. She lost one of her sons, he was Army five months ago. It was really sad, he took his life and we made a good connection as I have lost my youngest brother to suicide. God is good, he puts people where they need to be. What a blessing!!

Comment by Sharon ~ K's Mom on November 12, 2010 at 5:48pm: WOW!! What a wonderful two days thus far!! The Meet & Greet was fun, putting names with faces and spending time together. To see our Sailor PIR today, amazing to say the least................it was wonderful!! We are chilling in the hotel room, Diego wanted to just hang out and order dinner in and that is what we are doing. He and Kelsey are going over wedding stuff, many things to go over. Tomorrow going out and about, should be fun and also getting together with his best friends who has one month on him. He is doing A-school across the street and we haven't seen in since August so it will be fun getting our families together. Fun time!

Comment by LynnO on November 12, 2010 at 3:14pm: We are back at the room. Jordan is packing to move across the street for A school. I will put some pictures up. Lala - We got so many compliments on our ribbons. There were a number of envious people and far too many who didn't know about this site. I will get pics up here for you in a minute.

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on November 12, 2010 at 10:06am: Congrats everyone, stay warm and have a wonderful time. :-)

Comment by litlepig11 on November 12, 2010 at 9:42am: I'm here waiting for my sailor to march in...time had stopped!

Comment by Tobianne on November 12, 2010 at 9:18am: Lol, I am loving that. Pictures are forever memories.... until someone deletes them! I have had this happen. While in GL also. It was fine would have been a blackmail pic anyway. lol haha.

I am so excited for all of you.

I am now going to go get my shower and get ready for work.

Lincoln Zoo is nice, it is free but you have to pay for parking. just thought I would throw that out there to any that may have small kiddo's with them.
