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."

Since we will all be sitting in the same section of the bleachers at PIR, maybe it would be nice to have us all post something here in this section.  We could keep up with what the Division is doing by the letters others are receiving from this Division as well.

Well they day has passed 174 are now united states sailors congrats my brothers and sisters I wish I could of finished among you. If some one could email a division picture that would be great. (USN.Engle@gmail.com)

For every I wish safe travels to your next point of your journey as sailors hoo yaa 174!
Sending you a few. I also have a few short videos I took but can't find the cable to upload them yet :(
Just heard from our daughter, that when she finishes her A school, she will be joining the USS Ronald Reagan at it's deployed location.  Just when I thought all the emotional turmoil of getting used to being away at boot camp, now I will go through the anxiety of her first deployment. 
Yesterday when I was reading the local paper, I came across Brandi's graduation from Great Lakes in it, I was so totally taken by surprise, I didn't even realize it was going to be in there, and I usually don't read the paper, it was just by chance, that I was skimming through it, if that's not fate, then nothing else is....

We are still waiting to find out if Brit's pelvic fracture is going to make her get separated. I sure hope not as she's been thru a lot to get where she is right now. She said it's mostly healed and I'm guessing she feels tons better...not that she seemed to have felt much pain anyway. 

 

I hope everyone is doing well and all of our Sailors are following their dreams, and keeping safe as well. 

<Patti> hoping the best for your daughter, I can only imagine the ups and downs she is going through with all this, Brandi (my daughter) said that if your daughter would like to get some mail from her, she wouldn't mind writing to her. 

 

Sadly, Brandi leaves for her deployment on Monday, just when I am getting used to her being home again, now she leaves for her first assignment to the fleet on the USS Reagan, an aircraft carrier out with the 5th Fleet in Bahrain at the moment.

Hi Patti,

  I tried to send you an email but don't think it went out. I will try again later. I hope your daughter does not have to be seperated from the group. I hope she has a speedy recovery. I also hope you are doing well. Again I will try to send you an email later after I return from playing bingo tonight.
