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 janlee on April 19, 2011 at 4:11pm: jennio---Oh GOOD!!..thats a perfect example of why we tell everyone to stay by the phones even if they missed the call. they almost ALWAYS call back...:)) So glad you were able to speak to him and to hear that everyone passed..:)

Comment by JennieO_Hunter's Mom on April 19, 2011 at 4:06pm: He called back!! Got to speak to him for 20 minutes he was so tired but he said all of 147 passed!!! Awesome! Conversation! I am soooooo relieved!!

Comment by lbmom2navy 09 - 139 on April 19, 2011 at 4:02pm: Has anyone heard if DIV 923 did BS last night. My son's best friend is in DIV 923 (he is like my son too). Because their on separate ships, they have no communication with each other.

Comment by maresis on April 19, 2011 at 3:48pm: YEAH !!! Just spoke to my "Sailor" for 15 minutes...he sounded exhausted but good! He has watch tonite so doesn't get to go to recruit heaven but does get to buy a soda :) he was all excited about buying a Mt. Dew for the first time in 8 weeks...lol He said he could possibly call tomorrow as well...hope so! 147 had BS last night...

Comment by JennieO_Hunter's Mom on April 19, 2011 at 3:32pm: Received a call from my son...but I have crappy reception at work and couldn't hear a thing then the call dropped:(((((((! Ugh!! I hope he calls back!

Comment by annamichael on April 19, 2011 at 2:28pm: yes, he had BS Sunday night and called me yesterday. That's when he told me they might not get it. Maybe the RDCs just threatened them.. Hope so! He said all they will do this week is practice for grad, fold clothes, and march. He said he can't wait! haha

Comment by janlee on April 19, 2011 at 2:24pm: anna--- Did youre BF do BS21 yet?, because they all are able to go there after they finish. If they are the last group to go thru, they may not get to go because there is only a day or so remaining until PIR and they are busy practicing, getting haircuts, (sleeping), etc.. The groups to complete BS first are the lucky ones, as they are done with training a few days before everyone else and get to relax. Rickys heaven is usually a part of that relaxing.

I know how you feel. When my son was in there. He went into BC a week before some of the other recruits and then ended up being the last division to complete BS. He said he was like.."hey..what about us??"..He was frustrated also (me too..lol)

Comment by annamichael on April 19, 2011 at 2:09pm: janlee- when i talked to michael yesterday he said he wasn't sure if they were going to be allowed recruit heaven. why would they allow some divisions and not all? what could they have done to not have it? :( frustrated about that.

Comment by CDanielleR on April 19, 2011 at 1:52pm: Thanks ladies!! I keep staring at my phone. But I really need to stop because my phone vibrates SO LOUD I will hear it. I'm trying to keep the positive thoughts going.

Comment by janlee on April 19, 2011 at 1:36pm: Remember that if they are able to visit Ricky's Heaven...that sometimes they will get on a computer and post on FB. So make sure you check their /your page. If youre lucky, you can catch them on there and chat..:)
