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 Gina - Ship 07, Div. 050 on December 3, 2010 at 1:56pm: Sounds like a great idea...enjoy a little bit of girl time. Have fun!

Comment by Cat(Mom of an AO) on December 3, 2010 at 1:54pm: LOL. :( :( :( I'm laughing and crying at the same time. Stephen used to watch that with his dad... I'm going home early from work. Me and my daughter are going for hair and nails. Thought that would be nice to spend some time with her and get our minds off not hearing anything. Although it would be nice to have a surprise waiting in the mail when we get back

Comment by Gina - Ship 07, Div. 050 on December 3, 2010 at 1:48pm: I say we tag team the Mailman Cat! I've learned a few moves from WWF, he doesn't want to mess with me!

Comment by Cat(Mom of an AO) on December 3, 2010 at 1:14pm: thanks Ellen..

Comment by Ellen B on December 3, 2010 at 1:07pm: I'm sending positive vibes for you, Cat;)

Comment by Cat(Mom of an AO) on December 3, 2010 at 12:28pm: Ok ladies! So I am addicted to this site so I visit a lot of other groups and actually created the November 2010 Bootcamp one. Some of the moms in there are starting to recieve letter from their recruits who are PIRing the week after us. Where is that mailman? He is in for a rude awakening.

Comment by Cat(Mom of an AO) on December 3, 2010 at 12:17pm: Nice pic of the mailman however he's not going to look like that after I get him....
I WANT MY LETTER! I know I sound annoying and whinny but it would make my weekend a bit special.

Bradsfan, How is your daughter doing? Hope you all hear from him today. Glad to see she's talking about PIR and preparing. Let her know we are here for her as well.

Comment by bradsfanclub on December 3, 2010 at 11:50am: Hoping today.... finished my letter for today and will put it in the mailbox w/ hope that we hear something today... Gina.. if you don't knock off his smile, i'm sure one of us will!
My daughter wants to go to the mall tonight to buy a special outfit for PIR... I think that will be something to keep her busy.. have a great day everyone!

Comment by Gina - Ship 07, Div. 050 on December 3, 2010 at 11:36am: MR. MAILMAN, YOU BETTER BRING MY LETTER TODAY, OR I'M GONNA KNOCK THAT SMILE OFF YOUR FACE. I DON'T CARE HOW CUTE YOU ARE!
