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 RenoNavymom on April 4, 2010 at 11:38pm: Good Luck to all the recruits doing Battle Stations this next week!! We're pulling for EVERYONE.

Comment by proudWImom on April 4, 2010 at 10:53pm: Hope all had a good Easter eventhough it wasn't the same without our sons and daughters there.
For all who have the spread sheet my son's division is 145 not 142 or 143. It was listed differently in two places. Thanks again mardee for taking all the time I am sure it took to get the info together. Good luck to all the divisions who have BS coming up!! Only 2 days of work this week. Can't wait to head to Great Lakes for PIR!!!!

Comment by Tripper'smomBetsy on April 4, 2010 at 8:14pm: Rodo's Mom and Andy,
I agree! I was so hoping for a call today. I think that they start battlestations tomorrow and hopefully will get the call on Tuesday. I read somewhere that they keep them up for a couple of days prior to battle stations. I am burning my blue candle and am praying like crazy!

Comment by RenoNavymom on April 4, 2010 at 7:42pm: My Sailor had face book privlidges today. I had just missed a phone call from him and decided to sign on to fb and all of a sudden, "Hi Mom" What an awesome surprise. He could make his own fb posting on his page instead of me signing in under his acct. and filling in all his friends.

Comment by andy on April 4, 2010 at 7:05pm: I agree, Rodo's mom. Today was awful. I am glad it is almost over.

Comment by Marilee Courtney's mom on April 4, 2010 at 6:56pm: I just talked to Courtney for about 45 min. She said they are doing their BS on Tuesday
WHooooHooooo I am so excited!

Comment by Deanna_H_Proud_FC2's_Mom on April 4, 2010 at 6:31pm: BTW, everyone that has a copy of the spreadsheet, you can change my son's name to Andrew. AJ his initials and the nickname I used here for my profile name. But, his name is actually Andrew. Just an FYI.

Good Luck again to all of our recruits with upcoming BS21!! (Ship 06/DIv 921 is Monday night!)

Happy Easter everyone! See you Thursday!

Comment by Rodo's Mom on April 4, 2010 at 6:10pm: OK This was hard today. I'm really down, the last letter he was so discouraged. Sick again from the shots (but working through it). The easter egg hunt with the little neices, nephews, etc wasn't the same. I guess I better adjust, but I had hoped they'd let him call. 13/149 doesn't have BS until 4th. I can't wait for my call.

Comment by momof6 on April 4, 2010 at 11:45am: Congrats to them all!! I watched the video. Thanks, Jessica. I know other family members will want to see it!!

Comment by momof6 on April 4, 2010 at 11:43am: Kanga, my son said their captain's cup was the 4 divisions who went through battlestations together Thursday night, so I am thinking 145-148. He said they had sit up and push up competitions, relay races, had to put on full fire fighter gear and roll up fire hose, something with baseball, etc. That's all I can remember that he said =). So maybe different different competitions with different divisions, that's why multiple winners.
