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 Ruth, Gun's Mom on May 19, 2011 at 1:26pm: I had the pleasure of having coffee this morning with ColoradoConnie and her husband as they passed through. We won't be at the Ramada before 6, hope to make it there by 7. Our sailor says he'll meet us there to welcome you. Bug him, ask him questions.

Comment by CorpsmansGirl08 (station:GL,IL) on May 19, 2011 at 10:33am: Brandishing mom im glad the hotel is nice. I'm staying there too. Eventually I will get on a train..
Its been delayed 2 hours...

Comment by diannep on May 19, 2011 at 8:35am: This time tomorrow...you all will be (SHOULD BE---be EARLY!) seated in the PIR HALL...overcome with emotions....waiting for that BIG DOOR to roll up after the first part of the ceremony is over. It is a goosebump moment...and those who are in the lower division numbers--seated at that end of the hall-- will have a front row seat to see the big "reveal". A sea of white uniforms...waiting to "show their stuff" to you all. Let the celebration begin!

Bravo Zulu to all of your sailors!

Comment by gfr16 on May 19, 2011 at 1:58am: At the airport waiting for my flight!! Still can't believe the day is almost here

Comment by Brandis_Mom on May 19, 2011 at 1:47am: After a long flight delay, we are finally checked into the Days Inn about a mile away from Great Lakes, the rooms are nice and the bed is really comfortable, really pleased with the room.

Looking forward to meeting everyone and most of all can't wait to see my daughter in her dress whites along with all the other new sailors. My heart is almost bursting with pride and joy.

The sad thing, is we missed her phone call tonight, we were on the airplane and could not answer the phone, it almost broke my heart.

Lots to do tomorrow, so going to go and get some rest, it is almost 1am here in Chicago.

See everyone soon....

Comment by Tricsious (07/174) on May 18, 2011 at 8:47pm: How bittersweet is this.....I remember making this page when Bri first started bootcamp. I found this countdown clock and it depressed me bc the number seemed so far off and like it would never come. Here we are 1 day away. My sailor just called to tell me the proudest moment of her life is going to be marching into the drill hall in her uniform knowing we are there. She brought me to tears. This experience has been such a whirlwind and I am so grateful for you all and that we had eachother. So excited to meet each of you and reunite with our sailors!!!! My heart is just bursting!!!

Comment by drewsmom on May 18, 2011 at 7:30pm: Got my call too!!! About 1335 California time. He also called his grandpa (who was a colonel in the Air Force) and his cousin :):):) Congrats to all the sailors today. See ya'll on Friday!!! Go Navy!!!!!!

Comment by Stacey on May 18, 2011 at 7:24pm: Thanks so much diannep I will give him a call.

Comment by diannep on May 18, 2011 at 7:22pm: Congrats to the new sailors today!....safe travel tomorrow, ladies! Get ready for a spectacular PIR event!
