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 jacquec1253 on December 14, 2010 at 11:41pm: Awesome Abbe'sMom, my son is in Div 019 and he said they have done so well.. Good luck to your daughter!

Comment by NC_Susan on December 14, 2010 at 11:27pm: I got my call! D sounded so wonderful! He was surprised that I knew he was going to call. He still doesn't understand the power of N4M Mom, lol. He said his division is up for winning the Hall of Fame Flag. Its for the highest overall score for all of bootcamp. He said his and his brother division are neck in neck for it. I'm so proud of him and everyone in his division!!!

I'm so glad you all got your calls! I will be traveling tomorrow, but I will check in tomorrow night to see who else got their calls. I hope everyone travels safely over the next couple of days!

Susan

My daughter did not pass her final PFA in time for her pir on the 3rd so she went last night with div 019 to battlestations. I just wanted to let you know she said Div 019 was an awesome div and she felt very comfortable with them. Congratulations to all of you with new sailors and thank you to all from 019 for having such wonderful Sailors!!

Comment by Wendi, CTR mom on December 14, 2010 at 11:06pm: Congratulations to everryone who received their calls today. Our group should have started about an hour ago. My Sentsy has been burning since yesterday morning.

Have safe travels everyone.

Comment by luvthemsomuch.shp4div19shp7div55 on December 14, 2010 at 10:03pm: I got my call today at 3:02 eastern time. I was so happy to hear from him. He is now a Sailor. I can't wait to see him on Friday. I just hope the weather will cooperate.

Congratulations to all the Navy moms(:

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on December 14, 2010 at 9:38pm: Woohoo for all our calls today. We will be waiting patiently for our next group of calls tomorrow. :)

Comment by kathy on December 14, 2010 at 8:29pm: My husband got the call early this afternoon. He did not call me, but I was at work and I work retail, so it is tough to take calls. I am just happy he called and gave us the words "he is a sailor"! So happy for him!!!! My husband said he sounded confident and excited and was even talking about Annapolis! Never did I imagine that 4 years ago we would move from Maine to California and I would have a son in the Navy. Congratulations to all the new sailors and their families and I look forward to hearing from the other divisions' moms very soon!!!

PIR just around the corner. . . .
