OPSEC - Navy Operations Security

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 Anti M on November 7, 2010 at 12:33pm: Would the group like a discussion on the emotional highs and lows and weird detours of the minds new sailors after PIR? There can be some odd thumps and bumps, and knowing what may be in store, why they have such strict liberty rules, and the wide range of normal for new sailors may be useful. These sailors will be in a fairly unique situation by going directly on leave rather than be restricted and eased back into their civilian privileges. It can be an odd transitional time.

Or is it too early yet?

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on November 6, 2010 at 11:30pm: Wendi, I'm so happy to hear that she is back on track. Woohoo!

Lynn, that is such a funny mental image. Thanks for that. lol

Comment by Lori_KingsBay_USSRI_Radio on November 6, 2010 at 10:04pm: Lynne - too funny! You were on a scooter?

Comment by Lynne on November 6, 2010 at 9:57pm: Lolo...saw your question...they do carry a flag...and you if you any of your recruits ask about the crazy woman on a scooter, leaning over so far her head was practicaly on the ground that she almost tipped over trying to look at something, just smile and nod and say...oh that was just another crazy Navy For Moms woman checking up on our sailors for us....lol

Comment by Wendi, CTR mom on November 6, 2010 at 9:45pm: I got my call today, too. She was happy and excited. She is back in action and ready to kick butt. She has to make up the swim test and and PT. She also said they have a test next week and inspection. She also said she might get adopted by one of the girls' families from her division that live in Michigan. She said she can call again that day.

It took him 2 hours to get through it all last night.
