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 Lynne on November 23, 2010 at 2:55am: If he did not send the T-shirts to you, then he will have them with him on PIR weekend...this is also true for the formal pictures that were taken...

Sorry for the three messages, but I had to go back 3 pages and obviously my memory isn't what it used to be...lol

On the day of PIR you will have an opportunity to order more divisional T-shirts, to order a DVD if your recruit did not order it, to pick up pictures if they have not been picked up, to purchase frames if you want to (some of them are beautiful frames) and even send some of the pictures out to family members right from the NEX in mailing appoved boxes which I took advantage of and my family loved. They live in Montana and California so it made it much easier than me hauling it back to KY and then sending it.

Comment by Lynne on November 23, 2010 at 2:50am: You can post a picture of the division T-shirt right here in the chat room if you like...if you look up above the chat box...you will see the camera and just upload the image..lots of folks do that...

Lou...how are you at driving in snow...I think it is how comfortable you feel...at least get a car that is all wheel drive so it is good on snow covered roads....

The people who design the flag are sign the flag.

Comment by Lynne on November 23, 2010 at 2:47am: Momcif...if she goes to social security office or you go with her she should be able to get something that will serve as a social security card....which then should serve as a social security card to get her picture ID...the thing worked to get a young man into the Navy...it ought to work well enough for a picture ID...lol

Comment by fyrwife (EM Nuke mom) on November 23, 2010 at 2:10am: I received my ribbon today, Lala, you do awesome work. Thank you so much. I will wear it proudly at M&G and PIR.

My prayers go out to Div 9 & 10 to give them mental and physical strength for BS21 tomorrow night.

Comment by chandlersmom on November 23, 2010 at 1:28am: LaLa love the ribbons thanks so much!

Comment by momclf (ship03 div 018) on November 23, 2010 at 12:39am: Ok, I think I did it right, I just watched it again, definately would love to share it with my son beforehand, I really thought it was encouraging.
