OPSEC - Navy Operations Security

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 annamichael on April 19, 2011 at 7:57am: thanks diannaep! only 3 more days :-)

Comment by diannep on April 19, 2011 at 7:47am: yes, annamichael. When we checked into Residence Inn, I asked about the shuttle. They asked me which one I would like to be on, and wrote my name down. But no one ever checked the list in the morning that I'm aware of. I think they do that just to know how many shuttles to order...the hotels call up the number of shuttles they need for that weekend. Shuttles are really just taxis...but they are minivans and have the special rate when operating as a PIR shuttle ($3/pp each way).

Comment by diannep on April 19, 2011 at 7:42am: val: There is a group called WASHINGTON AND OREGON on this site. You may want to pull it up and check it out.

Congrats, Nadine!

lesleio: I think arriving at 6:30 will be fine for you. The visitors center is right inside the front gate. The gates don't open before 6:30 anyway, so just be in line early if you are driving. Congrats to your honor grad!

Comment by proud4son85 on April 19, 2011 at 12:59am: Congrats Nadine

Cant wait to see the calls posted on here tomorrow

good night

Comment by Nadine Ship03Div145 on April 18, 2011 at 11:53pm: Thanks for the prayers; my son passed! I will pray for the others now too, to be safe and to do well! I truly am grateful for your prayers!

Comment by maresis on April 18, 2011 at 11:40pm: Won't be able to sleep tonight. Will have that phone glued to my side tomorrow waiting for that call!!

Val...I'm in Seattle and Everett is about 45 minutes north and a good size base there.Also close to Bremerton which is a ferry ride away which has a large military presence. Just shoot me an email if you want any info on the area, I've been in the area since the early 80s :) My son will be heading to Hawaii following A school in GL.

Comment by Lamarmama 09/139 on April 18, 2011 at 11:26pm: Congratulations on your husband. I know your very proud of him.

Comment by Odi_Ship09_Div140 on April 18, 2011 at 11:17pm: I am leaving in the morning to head to pick up my dad and we fly out Wed. See you guys Thursday night. I am sure we will be in touch on here also.

Comment by proud4son85 on April 18, 2011 at 11:08pm: Congratulations to all the Calls today!!! They are all Sailors now.

Good Luck to all the ones doing Battlestations Tonight!!!!

I keep hoping DIv 140 can get free times for calls since they are done with their Battlestations. I just miss him and cant wait till Friday Ladies.

Comment by val328 (ship 03 Div 147) on April 18, 2011 at 11:02pm: Just found out from GF of my son that in a letter she got today he will be stationed in Everett, WA. Anyone know anything about that Naval Base? I lived in Seattle for two years and I loved it there...the rain gets old but it is beautiful...please let me know if anyone knows anything. Good luck son and all of the other recruites tonight. My prayers are with you all...
