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 Martinez's Mom Sterling's Aunt on April 3, 2010 at 9:36pm: I like the idea of adding Sailor to your name when they call with the I'm a Sailor news. :)

Comment by Chris on April 3, 2010 at 9:31pm: My son will be graduating with div 922. Wish I had known about this site sooner. Will not be making the meet n greet. Bummer. But will be there for graduation. See y'all soon.

Comment by Deidra- HM & Nuke Mom on April 3, 2010 at 5:39pm: JessicaB-Sailor Mom, that is a great idea about posting if the entire division passed Battle Stations 21. I'm sure it would relieve some to the tension on a very stressful day.

Comment by sailormom-cathie on April 3, 2010 at 2:57pm: screeminmomma I am still in shock about the bunny, I have no idea where it came from, have asked neighbors, no luck yet finding owner, I don't have any small kids, my youngest turns 23 on 4/14 lol, what am I suppose to do with this blessing. It's been a great diversion but really do Not need another pet I already have 4 cats and 1 dog, maybe it can become the DIV mascot?lol

Comment by sailormom-cathie on April 3, 2010 at 2:53pm: Got this off the recruit training site Good to know especially the part about No alcohol I was going to get a bottle of Champagne to celebrate:

Liberty is ‘time off’ from the daily routine. Graduating Sailors will be granted liberty to go off-base during the day with their families.

1. Graduating Sailors may not smoke, drive, or consume alcoholic beverages while on liberty.
2. Graduating Sailors must stay within a 50-mile radius of RTC.
3. Graduating Sailors must remain in their complete uniform while on liberty. If they are engaging in physical activity or swimming, they must be in authorized Navy issued workout gear.
4. Liberty expires at 9 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, and 8 p.m. on Sunday. No overnight liberty is authorized. Due to security checks and transit time, please allow ample time for graduating Sailors to walk back to their assigned ship prior to the end of liberty.
5. Families may not enter the base after graduation and will need to meet graduating Sailors for liberty at the main RTC gate.
6. Graduating Sailors departing RTC for follow-on training the same day as graduation or in a duty status will be granted limited on-base liberty.
7. Graduating Sailors receive an in-depth liberty briefing prior to their graduation day.

Comment by screeminmomma on April 3, 2010 at 11:40am: Cathie that is so funny :)
That's the nice thing about having younger children, We are having a hang out together party tonight for the teenagers and the missionaries over for dinner. We're still coloring eggs with everyone and will put together a baggie of goodies to take to PIR. So I still have a lot to keep my mind busy.

Happy Easter to all of you and Thank You for becoming a special part of my life. Helping me keep sane :)

Comment by sailormom-cathie on April 3, 2010 at 9:14am: Was feeling down yesterday, you know 1st Easter w/o my son so went outside to feed pets and heard a splash in my pool, saw something swimming thought one of the cats had fallen in, so reached in scooped it out and you will never guess what it was..it was a Bunny Rabbit!!! Couldn't believe it, how it got there and without one of the cats getting it is just a miracle, So I have been Blessed by the Easter Bunny. God sure works in funny ways, definitely took my mind of being sad. Of course I have never had a rabbit, had to run out and buy hay, my cats are staring at it and my Westie wants to hunt it lol, so no time to worry.
