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 Mrs. Shalamar (Ship 11 Div 115) on March 25, 2011 at 6:18pm: janlee~ this is just for you ~ I didn't bumble the phone but I did walk out of one of the locations I was in while the person behind the counter was talking to me!!! lol and about 40 min later when I came back in I explained myself and she laughed and shouted also, the call came shortly after I left the office good thing I wasn't driving!!! I am so happy I don't know what to do and of course I came back and told my boss and others in the office and everyone started shouting ~ Popsicles for everyone, there is no more concentrating for me today so I am taking off going home the hubs got a call to and we are going to celebrate before he is off to work for the night ~ he works at Disneyland so the guys have at his work have been waiting to hear to because lots of them were military men so they will have there celebration tonight while at work ~ it is just celebration time all over the place :-)

Comment by proudmom 11/116 on March 25, 2011 at 6:17pm: :-) Claysgirl!! and i just know you were grinning ear to ear every second of that call!!

Comment by proudmom 11/116 on March 25, 2011 at 6:14pm: and marmee... you did not ruin it for any of us!! i think the day would really have been unbearable if i had to wait until now to even find out if she passed!! so...

THANK YOU!

Comment by janlee on March 25, 2011 at 6:14pm: proud---yaayyyy! I bet you never thought you would be walking around saying "my daughter's a stick"..LOL!!

You can all go to bed tonight knowing this is all over for them and that they are enjoying themselves at Ricky's Heaven.

Mrs shalamar---it is very emotional when they are capped a Sailor. The song "Proud to be an American" plays while they are capped. To them, THAT is there graduation....the ceremony we see at PIR is really just the celebration of that to these Sailors...

Im so happy for those of you whose SR's have completed this, and lets not forget about the moms/wives/ GF's of all the ones to go after you the next few days...:))

Comment by Clay'sGirl (Ship 11 Div 115) on March 25, 2011 at 6:14pm: 41 min 20 seconds.... I am going to marry a Sailor in the United States Navy ladies.... :)

Comment by proudmom 11/116 on March 25, 2011 at 6:12pm: Mrs. Shalamar.... no arrest, then, huh??? or.... did you ask for one message to be posted, in place of your one phone cal?????!!!!!

We were worried that since you had stepped out for that boss of yours, you would miss it!!

so glad everyone is getting your calls... and the rest of you that still have to go through all of this.... it is worth every minute of the wait!!

Comment by Mrs. Shalamar (Ship 11 Div 115) on March 25, 2011 at 6:04pm: Okay ~ got the call of course while I was out in public...hahahaha...I am shouting and smiling so hard my jaws hurt...she said she cried when she got her sailor cap!! and now she just wants to eat she is hungry, she sounded really good, very happy we laughed a lot shes made friends and wants us to meet them!!! WOW, I feel so proud and at peace with what she has choosen to do with herself ~ Glory to God for keeping our loved ones in his hands...it is going to be a fabulous weekend!!!

Comment by NavyJane 11/116 on March 25, 2011 at 6:02pm: Talked for 35 minutes! She is sick (literally: coughing and sore throat) , tired, but sounded great! Looking forward to pizza and some more sleep. Her rack mate has pneumonia so I worry about my daughter getting it, too. Hope she is healthy for PIR. She also said she may be able to call next week. Yay!! Our sailors did it! HOOYAH!! I can't stop smiling!!

Comment by Monica1966 (11/117) on March 25, 2011 at 5:59pm: Congrats to all that passed BS. Mine does his next week . Then the long drive from Texas to there but worth every minute to see him. Keep us all informed. Thanks :)
