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."

Congrats on your new sailor! I hope you had a great weekend and got all your hugs in and your talking started. We are sure excited. May God bless you and your family!!

Comment by ProudMomS of a SAILOR! 10/29/10 on October 31, 2010 at 7:43pm: Hi Moms of Division 361, we are in Great Lakes for my son's PIR on 10/29. My husband and I watched your division march by as we were waiting for him. They looked really good. Kept in formation and in step! They certainly had thier military barrings straight! Good luck as you make your trips to GL to see them graduate. It will be a memorable weekend!

Comment by Lynne on October 31, 2010 at 7:21pm: HAVE I TOLD YOU RECENTLY HOW MUCH I LOVE YOU GUYS!!!

Comment by Lynne on October 31, 2010 at 7:17pm: Hey all has anyone heard from Mitch and Alice lately...did he get sent back to the dog house and I just didn't know it...come out come out where ever you are..we have a new dad who joined and we don't want him to think we chased you out to the doghouse again...lol

Comment by Lynne on October 31, 2010 at 7:09pm: Oh Karen I wish he would have gone Tuesday is a long way away and look what happened to my son. But, you absolutely know I and many other folks on here will be praying, praying, praying...are you sure your battlestations are Tuesday night...I am so confused...I keep getting conflicting information on these darn things..lol

Comment by jb_navymom MMNuke Class 1107B on October 31, 2010 at 6:52pm: Andysmom - I was reading back about your daughter. I'm so sorry - what a difficult thing for her to go through. I guess everything happens for a reason, and someday she will understand why things happened as they did. I hope all works out with her coming home and your family going up for your son's PIR. I pray they'll be able to coordinate that for you. Prayers to all the other recruits who are sick and/or going through Battlestations this week. May God bless them all. Can't wait to see my guy this coming weekend, even if all he wants to do is sleep. Sounds like they've all earned a good long nap!

Comment by navyarmymom on October 31, 2010 at 6:39pm: kylesmomkaren--I know how you feel. I missed my son's first call and felt so bad and it turned out he was sick, too. I will be pulling for your son and all the others who are sick (which is probably just about everyone!). Since they stress teamwork, I'm sure they will help each other get through it.

Comment by Andysmom on October 31, 2010 at 6:35pm: UGH! I feel so bad for our guys! I haven't gotten a call yet. Poor kids. I am just sick reading how they are all sick yet. Prayers for our guys PLEASE! I'm getting choked up.

Comment by navygirl0428 on October 31, 2010 at 6:32pm: I'm sorry to hear that Kylesmom. :( I'm sure everything will work out for him and his div. They have come so far and I'm sure they will push though.
