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."

I got the "I am a Sailor" call!  I knew I'd be proud, but it was such a great feeling nonetheless.  I am so so proud of all these guys!

 

I just wanted to let you know I found a Navy Blue Scarf today for PIR. I found it at Target and its a warm one which I think we will need while we are there.

I bought one, but a friend made me one - now I am ready! Was there a good connection on your calls? I had trouble hearing.

 

No it was very clear. The sad thing was we wanted to hear each other talk and we were just speechless it was 11 minute call and I know he had more time to talk UGGHHH  I tried to get him to call my husband but he only tried home and not his cell, wish I can have one more call. 

I know we will have lots to talk about when we there Friday and Saturday. We live early Sunday morning to come back. I dont want to think about that right now.

 

See you real soon.

So is mine I am new at this and lookin fro help my son want to change from naval active reserve to active. I just found out that his paperwork is wrong help!!!!!!

zosia.  Not sure the ladies on here can help with that.  You may need to search under GROUPS up top and see if you can find a group for "RESERVES" and ask on there.  I have read on this site that others have been directed to the reserves because the jobs they had were "full" in active duty right now.  Beyond that, I just don't know.  Hopefully someone up in GL is helping your son with this as he is the one who will have to try and get if straightened out. 

All of the ladies in this discussion are from div 140, same as your son.
