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."

Hang in there Renee and Janiece. Not much longer. I share your feelings totally. It's been a total rollercoaster ride and we're in the last car - last ones to disembark. I, too, have been reading the posts - one minute rejoicing for others, the next crying in frustration, anticipation, etc. I think by Wed. night I should lose about 5 lbs. because I'm going to be throwing up all day. My stomach is in knot and I'm not sleeping very well either. I can't wait to get home from work later though and read all the great posts from 165/166 when they get all those wonderful calls from their SAILORS!!! Go 165/166 - we're routing for ALL of you as we did for the DIV's that went b4 them and as we will for the DIV's after them. We want ALL Div's on our Ship (or should I say our family?) to pass. I'll be praying for the rest of our boys/girls to pass today. Good luck moms! HANG IN THERE!!!

Good night Ladies. Talk tomorrow :))

Chin up Janeice! It's almost over. 8))
Comment by Janiece M-Utah on April 19, 2010 at 12:17am
Hope all is going well for the divisions in BS21 tonight! Hang in their moms/wifes/GF's and keep us posted on the progress. It was an emotional weekend here and kept thinking I was going to cry after reading these posts but I refrained. I guess I had hoped to hear great news about 167 and didn't. Hope you all had a great weekend and were on the countdown now! We need God & Mother Nature to give us a great weekend with our sailors. The weather forecast is not looking great.

Hugs.....
Janiece /Utah :)

Okay, the rest of you need to let us know when you're expecting your "Sailor" calls, so we can be waiting. Hope you can sleep a bit better than I did the night of Heath's BS. As a matter of fact, we all need to sleep very well this week so we can spend as much time with our Sailors as possible this weekend. G'night!

Marshalls and TJ Maxx have a ton of scarves...every color you could want.
Comment by navynana on April 18, 2010 at 10:47pm
if we can't find the scarfs we've decided to wear red shirts.
Comment by maussie64 on April 18, 2010 at 10:38pm
My Target had one in a very unflattering shade of purple. I just bought fabric at Joanns.
