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.

Comment by Becca1st on April 20, 2011 at 9:01pm: Ok... I'm a dork (actually, my computer is slllloooowww tonight).

Yay! CDanielle. Remind us all to pinch him for you Friday! Ugh!!! Congrats though.

Comment by MaryJune (s3/d141) on April 20, 2011 at 8:59pm: DAnielle, yay!

Comment by Becca1st on April 20, 2011 at 8:58pm: @annamichael... my daughter is going to A school in Pennsacola, so likely on same flight. She's in div. 147. I will be with her at airport as well. Scheduled my return flight for 1:30 PM so I wouldn't have to leave her.

@CDanielle... I am still praying for you both... keep the faith, no matter what. I believe the Navy will continue working with each recruit until they make it. Just don't give up.

Comment by annamichael on April 20, 2011 at 8:58pm: YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's AWESOME news!!!!!! Congrats!!! See you Friday!!!

Comment by CDanielleR on April 20, 2011 at 8:57pm: HE SURPRISED ME!!!!!! HE PASSED YESTERDAY!!!!

Comment by annamichael on April 20, 2011 at 8:52pm: Forgot to add this earlier... My boyfriend told me a lot of people in his division (144) will be going to Pensacola also for A school. Here is his info for Saturday -

Be at airport (O'Hare) at 7am - they are leaving RTC at 6.

Delta flight

Boards plane at 12:45pm

So, I will have a few hours with him and 7am is NOT too early at all. I was dreading he would have to be there at 2am or something. :) Let me know if your sailor will be on the same flight!

Comment by annamichael on April 20, 2011 at 8:32pm: Danielle, I'm so sorry. I'm sure you are feeling down, and he is too. My thoughts are with you. :(

Comment by diannep on April 20, 2011 at 8:31pm: CDanielle: He may get another chance in the morning, so don't give up yet! He would then do BattleStations tomorrow night with the next PIR group. So keep that phone nearby and please post if you hear from him.

FreeBird: To answer your question about CDanielle's SR---if he doesn't pass tomorrow---he will be kept in FITT Division for a while so he has more chances. Not sure how long he will get to try, but know of one now-sailor who didn't make her run until 3 weeks after PIR. So no one is giving up on him!

Comment by FreeBird61 on April 20, 2011 at 8:25pm: Danielle...It just means he will be graduated later right?...I am so sorry....My thoughts and prayers are with you....

Comment by cclivingston on April 20, 2011 at 8:20pm: Danielle,I am so sorry :( I've had you on my mind all day and was wondering...

Chatted with my son on fb just a min or two before the time ran out. I can't wait to see him in his uniform on Friday :) Also looking forward to meeting all of you at the Meet and Greet. See y'all in GL :)
