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 stefani71-ship7/div364 on October 26, 2010 at 3:27pm: Amelia, my heart goes out to you and your daughter. I hope she heals quickly and that everything turns out ok for her.

I hope everyone here has a good day today. I'm hoping for a letter to brighten mine. My daughter is on her way to MEPS now and will fly out to BC tomorrow. We're all hoping that she gets to graduate before Christmas, but we'll see. What would be really cool is if we see her (I know it would just be in passing and sheerly by accident) when we go to PIR for our son next week.

Comment by paytonshana on October 26, 2010 at 3:16pm: Nine more days!!! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAwawawawawwwwwowowowowowowowoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Comment by Proud Navy husband on October 26, 2010 at 2:09pm: in response to sandi, my wife complained of the same thing and i, too, haven't heaerd her say anything, till this day. Amelia, just rest assured that you're in the prayers of everyone here.

Comment by sandi (shp07/div357/PIR11/5) on October 26, 2010 at 1:47pm: I am so sorry Amelia, I will say prayers for you daughter and she will pull through it you know she will, it is just tough not being able to help. I know my recruit complained about having some pain like shin splints and I haven't heard anything since. Sorry this happened to her sooooo close, but she will finish just a little later.
I still haven't gotten a letter or a call in 2 weeks arhgggggggg!!!!!!!

Comment by Mom(Div363-PIR11/5) on October 26, 2010 at 1:05pm: Next week, go to: http://www.bootcamp.navy.mil/honor_grads.asp
It will list who the recruits are who have honors and awards!!!

Comment by Proud Navy husband on October 26, 2010 at 12:46pm: same here, Amelia. I may not what it's like to be a parent, but you have my word that i'll pray the Rosary for her would feel privileged to write Halee. Positive vibes and God Bless

Comment by Lynne on October 26, 2010 at 12:46pm: I know everyone is excited about PIR and such but please do not let your vigilence down at this point...please don't put pictures of your recuit up as your identifier...prying eyes are still looking...let's remain tough until the end and even when PIR is done it is important you keep your profiles private and your pictures and id's as non-descript as possible.

Comment by Lynne on October 26, 2010 at 12:41pm: Amelia...I am so sorry to hear about your recruit...I know it is devastating for both your family and her. I also know she is strong and will survive as will you. I knew a person on this very site whose son broke his wrist about three weeks into boot camp. He spent 3 months in Ship 6, was finally medically and six weeks later graduated with honors from boot camp. So you hang in there...I have a feeling all will be okay. I sure would like to be one of those people who write to your daughter while she is ship 6. I would consider it a privelege.

Comment by AmeliaGrumma (RCU) on October 26, 2010 at 12:10pm: Thanks everyone for your thoughts & especially your prayers. I think once she gets through the shock and reality sets in--she'll be fine. It was a clean break & no surgery required--so that is positive. Now to recover and since she was so close to BS21--I don't think -- at least I hope & pray they don't boot her. She'll just have to spend more time there.

She's just meant to be there longer and maybe this will help her with everything and prepare her even more for the future ahead! We are so proud of her and in our hearts--she is a SAILOR!

BS21 was just a formality--she's gone in to burning buildings & rescued people in emergencies as an EMT/FF--so now we just wait and see what happens next!

Thank you everyone, Tracy
