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 sandi (shp07/div357/PIR11/5) on October 30, 2010 at 10:27am: Amelia, great job on going and visiting your recruit Halee. I bet she was surprised and I would have done the same. What a wonderful experience to actually see she is alright. You take care and our thoughts and prayers are with you and your recruit :)

Comment by KS Cathy (S7Div.357/PIR11/5) on October 30, 2010 at 10:21am: Do I understand correctly, ARE they having their captains cup today. Ship 07 Div. 357. On the navy boot camp website it said they do it the Saturday before Battle Stations.

Comment by sandi (shp07/div357/PIR11/5) on October 30, 2010 at 10:17am: Wow diannep, what a handsome man you must be extremly proud of him, can't wait to see my boy. Lynne, I knew something was not right when you did not get a call, but the wonderful thing is he is not under that RDC anymore!!!!! And the other thing is he will still be PIR 11/5 and we are all still going to get to meet (remember do not pick on me LMAO, ha ha ha LOL!!!!!!!!) And he is and always be Cardinals Company 357!!!!!! See you next week. We get to spend the weekend with our Sailor too, Yahoo :)

Comment by diannep on October 30, 2010 at 9:48am: For a preview of how the NWUs (Navy Working Uniform) looks...here is my son in his, as we left the hotel after my visit to see him earlier this month and he was on his way to work. He said not only do they look good, but they are pretty comfortable too. They wear their black boots with them.

Comment by diannep on October 30, 2010 at 9:28am: Amelia: So glad that you are there with her....I'm sure those were very special hugs! Prayers for continued healing for both Halee and her roommate! Safe travel back home.

Comment by Kathy on October 30, 2010 at 9:26am: So glad you were able to visit Halee, You are so right We mom's understand. I will keep her on my prayer list in the days and weeks ahead. Also, her roommate. Please keep in touch and let us know how she is doing. Let her know she has a lot of support from all of us. God Bless

Comment by AmeliaGrumma (RCU) on October 30, 2010 at 9:13am: Hi everyone! Update on my Halee--I'm here with her now at the VA Medical Center--came in on the train yesterday morning & headed back home tonight! She is good spirits & was surprised to see me! When I found out I could come visit her--well you're all moms--you understand!

So 8 hours on the train--one way!

If anyone is staying at the Days Inn Great Lakes @ 3000 North US 41--Very Nice & Clean & staff very pleasant! And only 3 1/2 miles from Anastasia's! My daugter wanted steak--"Real Steak" LOL--so I ordered from there and picked it up for her! The french onion soup was excellent! Very Nice place!

So as I won't be with you all next week for Meet & Greet--I'll be there in spirit!

Hitting the shower now, grabbing the breakfast downstairs and then back to the VA center Rehab unit until I have to head in to town to catch my train home.

But I have to say--I saw many new "SAILORS" with their families after their PIR yesterday morning--I was so proud to see them all--but torn because Halee's won't be until some time next year now after all her rehab!

PLEASE Also--Halee received a roommate--she's on 19, She had a fall and dislocated her hip & fractured her femur--had surgery for the femur and is now going to be months before she is fully recovered to step back in to her recruit status. She was at 3 weeks & she's from Alaska...so if anyone see's or hears about her mom on here--put her in touch with me please!

Thanks again for all your prayers! Having seen Halee--I am able to relax more and know she'll make it through this! Won't be so bad for her when she's sent back to RCU!

TRACY

Comment by mimi on October 30, 2010 at 8:41am: Lynne---you are lucky person to have so many supporters, like wise your son must be very lucky to have you on his side, because with us at your back how can he possibly fail? Thoughts and prayer really do work And so does steriods and antibitics!! By the time he does battlestations he will be able to do "repel bullets and leap tall buildings in a single bound" you know why....because he young, tough, brave, man he's a UNITED STATES NAVY SAILOR!!!!!! ----

Comment by TKE [S7.DIV359.PIR11/05] on October 30, 2010 at 1:32am: Congrats to all the New Sailors :) So exciting & awesome!!!!

navysweetheart36, BANAvymom & Lynne; my heart truly goes out for you, your families, & your recruits. You all are in my prayers and I have faith that your men will make it through this stronger than ever- god bless.
