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 momof5 (Ship 04 Div 192) on May 17, 2010 at 1:57pm: no word yet and I've been keeping an eye out on here...

Comment by momof5 (Ship 04 Div 192) on May 17, 2010 at 1:48pm: Ladies, we've made it so far.....weeks and weeks, yet these last 2 days seem to be dragging forever. LOL

Comment by Traci (Perry's wife Nuke EM) on May 17, 2010 at 1:38pm: Does anyone have a list of what we can bring to PIR? I wanted to know if we could bring a bottle of water or some almonds to snack on. It's going to be a LONG morning and I want to be prepared.

Gloria - We're still here! That phone call tomorrow will make all the waiting worth it!

Comment by Traci (Perry's wife Nuke EM) on May 17, 2010 at 1:24pm: momof5 - we're so close! just breathe deep and stay busy. in a few days, this whole experience will just be a memory.
NavyStarMom - I've tossed and turned the last three nights as well. So anxious! Do I understand correctly that you're a Traci too?? I've never met another Traci with an i before! You can understand my pain of always having my name spelled incorrectly and never finding anything with it spelled our unique way.

Comment by Gloria (Ship 04 Div 192) on May 17, 2010 at 1:20pm: So glad to hear from some of division 192 family. I was beginning to think we had fallen off the face of the earth. I'm wondering why ours don't get phone or taco bell (that became Joshua's favorite fast food before he left) or facebook privileges. Our RDC must believe they have to limit that stuff to make them stong. Momof5, my stomach is bothering me too. Hope it's just nerves which will go away tomorrow!!!

Comment by NavyStarMom on May 17, 2010 at 1:09pm: I am so excited, that I am not sleeping. I have not heard from Danielle since I received the letter written on Mother's Day. But No news is Good news. Can't wait to hug my kido!

Comment by momof5 (Ship 04 Div 192) on May 17, 2010 at 12:35pm: My stomach is in knots........

Comment by Traci (Perry's wife Nuke EM) on May 17, 2010 at 12:00pm: I cannot wait to meet all of you Div 192 moms! (and all of you 5/21 pir moms for that matter). Without all of you I don't even know how I would have handled these 8 weeks. The meet and greet is going to be great. I'm really looking forward to it. Was somebody making ribbons for the meet and greet? I'd really love one if it isn't too late.
Let's get packing ladies! We're only a few days away! My mother and I are driving up and are leaving early Wednesday morning. I'm so ready!
Prayers and good thoughts are going out to all the recruits going through battlestations tonight!

Comment by momof5 (Ship 04 Div 192) on May 17, 2010 at 11:48am: Hi Traci,
I was hoping that the info we received last week that they would be able to call us before BS today would be accurate. :-( But you are right.. no news is good news!!

Comment by Traci (Perry's wife Nuke EM) on May 17, 2010 at 11:43am: Nope. I have a feeling we won't hear from them until tomorrow. While all the other divisions have seemed to get phone calls more often, we've only gotten the one on April 19th, so at this point I just assume we'll only get the call tomorrow. I can't wait though!!!! No news is good news!
