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."

1proudmomma, I know what you mean about us all being new..I felt so lost when I first came here. And so alone. But with the help of all of you I made it through bc and moving on to A school.I feel like we went through some type of boot camp too!

Navy boot camp for moms..

I was wondering how many people are going to the meet and greet...?

Comment by navyvet on May 11, 2011 at 11:21am: Blue candle changed, we are down to 8 days and a wake up yippee

Comment by ColoradoConnie on May 11, 2011 at 9:59am: Ruth- Thanks so much for the road info! I lived in Iowa as girl, actually graduated HS there and went to college there as well My folks were born in a small northwestern town near Mason City and I still have a Sis that lives in Forest City. I remember the Amana's well. One of my sisters was actually born in Davenport! Thanks for the invite for a meet and greet. I will send you a PM with cell phone info and would love to get info to set up a stop to say Hi!!

Comment by Ruth, Gun's Mom on May 11, 2011 at 9:36am: Saying a prayer for all your sailors doing BS and that you all receive your "I'm a sailor" calls!

ColoradoConnie (and anyone driving from the west), no worries about flooding on I-80. It's all well south of us now--prayers for all those suffering so much! There's a bit of construction going through Iowa City, but it won't hold you up. In eastern Iowa, if you need to stop to eat, the Amanas or Walcott I-80 are good choices, as well as Davenport. Are you driving straight through? If you stop for the night and are near the QC, let me know! We'll have our own meet and greet!

Consider taking 88 after you cross the Mississippi River on I-80. It's a toll road (not a huge cost though), but a much better road than I-80 because semis haven't been pounding it.

We plan on leaving Thursday about 3:00, so we'll be in Waukegan by 6 and hope to get to the Ramada to see everyone.

Comment by ColoradoConnie on May 11, 2011 at 9:15am: We sure have 1ProudMomma! I remember when we were all the new kids and were so full of questions. Now we are all helping the newbies! I can't wait to meet you wonderful Ladies and Gents at PIR! We will all be converging on Great Lakes next week for the one special event that has brought all of us together as new friends and a "Family" of sorts! I can't believe we are actually on the downhill side of Boot Camp!

Comment by 1ProudMomma on May 11, 2011 at 9:00am: Love LOVE the blue candle photo. Thank you to whoever started that one. I can't believe that we are talking BS tomorrow!!! Remember when we were all wondering when the letters would start coming? Look at us now! We've come a long way baby! ha ha.

Comment by ColoradoConnie on May 11, 2011 at 8:36am: Barn Godess The Meet and Greet is for 2 hours. It would be possible for you to pop in... I am sure that some folks will be in and out as well. Me I will probably be there the whole time yacking my head off! LOL

Comment by ColoradoConnie on May 11, 2011 at 7:59am: I DID IT! I DID IT!! Thanks for the help Barn Godess!

Comment by ColoradoConnie on May 11, 2011 at 7:53am: I just checked out the weather forecast for GL Thurs is supposed to be rainy, 61 with 40% chance of showers. Fri AM clouds, PM SUN, high of 65! Glad we dont have to leave the Ramada Thursday for the M&G!!

Comment by ColoradoConnie on May 11, 2011 at 7:50am: Tricsious I know what you mean about being a nervous wreck!! I know that our SR would do very well if he is 100% but being so sick right now, makes me worry for him! It sounds like the whole 927 div has been sick. I am concerned for all of them! I just pray for all of them that they can pass and still PIR together!
