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."

Yeah, Perry mentioned a third division as well I think. An 8 or 900 division? I can't remember what he said. So don't lose heart, I know the waiting is agonizing, but the calls will come!
Comment by Jess's Mom (Fire Controlman GL) on May 18, 2010 at 4:34pm
Maggie, hang in there. Remember 2 divisions did BS and that would be around 150 to 160 recruits (oh, I mean Sailors). Jess said some of them went to the NEX before they stopped selling candy and then got in line for the phones. She said that she missed getting candy but while we were talking, someone threw her some Reese Cups. She will call soon.
Comment by Traci (Perry's wife Nuke EM) on May 18, 2010 at 4:33pm
Awww Jess's Mom too cute!! He's so great. I'm glad he's getting to talk to people and make friends. He tends to be a quiet wallflower. I'm definitely the outgoing one in the relationship! It's so great to know that all of our Sailors are getting to know each other! Makes me happy.
Perry said that everybody passed. So for any of you that haven't gotten phone calls yet, no news really is good news! When we were saying our goodbyes I could hear the RDC in the background yelling for them to get up that it was time to go. Some of them had fallen asleep. They were all so tired! Perry was falling asleep mid conversation. Poor guy! I hope everyone gets a phone call. I'm so ready to be up there now, I can't wait to leave tomorrow!!!

Comment by Jess's Mom (Fire Controlman GL) on May 18, 2010 at 4:08pm
Traci....FYI Jess knows Perry. She said he is very nice and he showed her pictures of you. Said he told her how wonderful, caring and beautiful you are and that he loves you very much. She said that are very pretty from your picture and she hopes to get to meet you at PIR.
Comment by Jess's Mom (Fire Controlman GL) on May 18, 2010 at 4:03pm
Jess is a SAILOR. Got my call at 2:51 while I was work. I cant post at work but It was a great call. She called her recruiter, her best friend, her stepdad, and then called me back. She still had time on her phone card and the NEX was closed so she couldn't get her candy, but when she was talking to me, someone threw her some reese cups and she was so grateful. She sounded great and can't wait to see us on Friday.

Me too, Maggie!
Comment by Traci (Perry's wife Nuke EM) on May 18, 2010 at 4:00pm
