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 Abbe'sMom(Ike CVN69) on November 30, 2010 at 5:43pm: Let's all ask our recruits tomorrow when they call if the whole div passed, that way the first one to get a call can post on here that the whole div passed and we can start relieving our stress level.........LOL I know they will do great too!!

Comment by chandlersmom on November 30, 2010 at 5:38pm: Will there be a sign up at the Ramada with our ship and division on it

Comment by chandlersmom on November 30, 2010 at 5:37pm: Thanks for the info

Comment by terese71 Ship 03 Div 017 on November 30, 2010 at 5:31pm: I know they will all do great positive thinking!

Comment by sandy Ship3 Div 17 on November 30, 2010 at 5:29pm: Congrats to the new sailors!! This is so exciting - at times it feels like it has been such a long journey, but other moments so fast. Gonna miss this group. TEARS - TEARS. Couldn't have done this without you all!!!

Comment by pray4peace Ship 03 Div 017 on November 30, 2010 at 5:26pm: Exactly. Which is why I changed my airline tickets from tomorrow to Thursday. In the event my daughter did not pass, I did not want to already be in Great Lakes! Would rather wait for the call and have to change my tickets to reflect the new PIR date, rather than assume she will pass, get to Great Lakes only to find out she didn't! I originally thought she would PIR a week earlier when I originally made my travel plans. This cutting it close thing has been a bit stressful for me! I have all the confidence in the world she will do just fine, and so does she as she stated when I spoke to her on Thanksgiving. But, anything can happen!

Comment by Abbe'sMom(Ike CVN69) on November 30, 2010 at 5:23pm: That is my understanding also. So the recruits going tonight and tomorrow night would not have enough time left to redo BS to graduate on time.

Comment by pray4peace Ship 03 Div 017 on November 30, 2010 at 5:20pm: Yes. It is my understanding they are allowed no more than three "hits" during the 12 hours. If they receive more than that, they are removed from BS but can rejoin another division after 48 hours of rest to try it again. Those hits are per recruit, not per the division. They get hits if they do something incorrectly. Again, that is all my understanding. Anyone else can certainly chime in and correct me if I am wrong. Of course, if they are injured during BS, they would be sent back if they could not continue on.

Comment by chandlersmom on November 30, 2010 at 5:15pm: Is there a way a recruit would not pass. I so can't wait for our call

Comment by terese71 Ship 03 Div 017 on November 30, 2010 at 5:10pm: Good Luck everyone on BS tonight go Div 017 can't wait to get my "I am a Sailor" call so i can wish him a happy 18th Birthday too my baby will be 18 tomorrow A happy day for him and i both I am so excited to see my son i couldn't sleep last night just so anxious to get there i leave Thurs. morning
