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'm praying and trusting that they will all pass BS with flying colors and that "OUR" recruit that needs to pass his run will also pass with plenty of time to spare. They have too many prayers on their side not to do fantastic!! Enjoy your calls today ladies!! And pre-Congratulations to all of your Sailors!!!

Good Morning All......
Excited for all you to receive your calls this afternoon! I still have to wait till tomorrow :) It's going to be a very loooonnnngggg 2 days still. It's just killing me to not have any connection or word about division 167.

I've said an extra prayer for the recruit in Chase's division still needing to pass his run!!! Think positive mom, God & his angels are going to pick up those feet of his and run like he's never done before :)

Cheyanna, Ramona & Grannytr....our son Chase is also in the Nuke program in Charleston, SC. He told us last Sat & his letter 2 wks. ago that he ships out on the 27th of April. He didn't give me a time, just the date. He classified his tech job a couple weeks ago and decided to do the Mechanical side. What about the 3 of you?????

Have a great day~
Hugs.....
Janiece /Utah :)

You're right dubbie, a P.O. ran right along side my girl when he saw her tiring. She ended up making with 28 secs to spare.
She really admires her RDCs
Comment by dubbie on April 20, 2010 at 10:34am
my son had a really hard time passing it to, he ran everyday before he left and had it down pat but for some reason failed the first 2 times! god will put the air under that recruites feet and pass today. the RDC'S don't want him to fail, they will help him!
Comment by maussie64 on April 20, 2010 at 10:25am
I will be praying for the recruit in 167.
Did the run requirements change recently? My daughter was doing it in plenty of time before she left, but struggled to pass in BC.

Renee, pass on the link below. We also had this happen in our PIR group and our Mom found this discussion helped. Her son didn't grad with us but has moved onto Nuke school and is doing good. She is still apart of our group and keeps us updated.

Thinking about all you waiting your calls. Hang in!!
Comment by Oneofalot on April 20, 2010 at 9:44am
Beth, yes, I am impatient almost as much as a little kid in a candy store. I am not at my desk most of the day, but today I am staying put. I am making the work come to me. My problem is that I leave work today at 1:00 for a massage. I thought I would need one after all this waiting.
