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 Sherri_M on November 21, 2010 at 6:15pm: nuke mom...mine is nuke MM!!! He'll be going to A school with yours...I can't remember who all else is, but he told me a few from his Div! Maybe we can meet up at M&G, and again at airport too and kids can meet!
Dianne, great idea...will tell him to kinda stay there by wall till we get to him!

Comment by Dodie on November 21, 2010 at 5:41pm: Nukemom, mine will be an EM nuke

Comment by Sailor'sGirl NukeWife on November 21, 2010 at 5:17pm: she's only looking for son/daughter...
well it's okey
i am a girlfriend of a nuke here
but not sure yet what he is going to be
hope to get the mail tomorrow

Comment by Linda (navynucmom) on November 21, 2010 at 4:46pm: OK, so now that I know my son will be Nuke MM - who else has a son/daughter that's going to be MM in A school?

Comment by diannep on November 21, 2010 at 3:02pm: Sherri: Maybe tell your sailor, since he is on the back row, to just stay there, up against the wall, until you reach him. That should narrow down the possibilities of where he is!

Eventually, all are found....sometimes it is better if they stay put until you find them. That's what my son did.

Comment by Linda (navynucmom) on November 21, 2010 at 1:08pm: My son drew me a layout of his division and where he would be so I can spot him. He will be in the first full row of sailors right behind the flags, 2nd from the left as we are facing them. I told him to just stay in that same area once the ceremony commences and we will come to him. I can't wait!!!! I can't wait!!! I can't wait!!!

Comment by Sherri_M on November 21, 2010 at 12:48pm: also wanted to say, thanks to you all for being here! I love ya all and can't wait to meet ya all!!

And I keep wondering about how to spot my Sailor too....haha...i do know he's at the back--last row, so that helps, plus he has BC glassses...unless they allow him to wear his contacts he brought to BC--if they are even still good!--but still in the back, but it was after the ceremony that I worried about too! i guess we'll go fight through the crowd and find our Sailors!!!

Comment by Sherri_M on November 21, 2010 at 12:44pm: Hey all!!! WOW, it's finally starting to wind down!! Just think about all that will be happening this week----Battlestations for the first 2 Div...so blue candles/lights will be going and up on our page....the firt "I'm a Sailor" calls should be coming on Wed!-DONT LOSE YOUR CELL PHONE NOW!!!!!, Thursday brings adoption for many, hopefully phone calls for all!, Sat is Captains Cup, and hopefully phone calls for the winners over the weekend....those not doing BS this week, will be practicing and finishing up, then the rest of BS next week with the rest of the "I'm a Sailor" calls!!!! For those div that pass BS...loads of practicing for PIR, then the M&G and then GRADUATION--or as we know it PIR!!!! WooHOO.....what a busy next few days!!!!

Comment by Linda (navynucmom) on November 21, 2010 at 11:54am: We should be able to print parking passes tomorrow!!!

Comment by Dodie on November 21, 2010 at 11:19am: Hi all, Time is really ticking by...just 4 days til Thanksgiving. We are adopting another recruit for the holiday named Phil.
