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 beatrizm (Ship04 Div192) on May 13, 2010 at 12:07pm: Traci, so sorry he is sick, I'll keep him in my prayers so he gets better quickly. Savannah said in her letter the next phone call will be Tuesday, so I guess that's after BS. And I have almost back to back meetings that day!

ksunagel, she is staying at Great Lakes for A School.

my3sons, we could do straight pins or we could use double sided tape and attach them to the back of the buttons.

Comment by momof5 (Ship 04 Div 192) on May 13, 2010 at 12:02pm: Traci, I'm sorry. I hope Perry is feeling better soon. It seems this division has been plagued with illnesses from the start. Just think though, how well they're doing despite the illnesses. In fact, none of the recruits have been booted out of this division as of last week... amazing in itself.

Comment by momof5 (Ship 04 Div 192) on May 13, 2010 at 12:01pm: Thanks, Traci. Now at least we know for sure when BS is. Rob got EM too. I wonder which recruits got the only two ET slots. Does anyone know exactly what Test #3 is? Thanks.

Comment by Traci (Perry's wife Nuke EM) on May 13, 2010 at 11:38am: I just got my letter! He's sick. He's been sick basically the whole time. And now he has tonsillitis in his right tonsil but he said that surgery isn't an option yet so they're hoping the swelling goes down with meds.
He said that Monday the 17th is Battlestations so I should hear from him on Tuesday. Yay! Oh and he didn't get his ET job like he wanted, but he got EM so for any of you other Nuke mom's with EM's, it looks like our boys will be in school together!
Today they are firefighting and tomorrow is Test 3. He says that sometimes he thinks I know more than he does about what's going on because of the N4M site! Hahaha. He ordered grad pictures and the dvd of the graduation. The rest of his letter was a lot of I miss yous and I love yous. :) I hope everyone gets their letters! They're like my fuel to get me through the week.

Comment by Tamijzr07 on May 13, 2010 at 11:07am: The Ribbons are awsome ! The phone just rang ...it wasn't my son. Oh this waiting :)

Comment by beatrizm (Ship04 Div192) on May 13, 2010 at 10:40am: On another note, my daughter sent me a list of things she wants me to bring in an extra suitcase for PIR and leave it in a locker near RTC, so that she can get it after they've moved to A School, because they can't take anything back with them during PIR weekend. She said a number of other recruits are doing this. Has anybody here heard anything? I don't mind taking it up, I just don't want her to get in trouble.

Comment by beatrizm (Ship04 Div192) on May 13, 2010 at 10:29am: Oops, sorry, that was my3sons offering to do ribbons. Could you please do two for me for DIV 192? I can get buttons for you if you need them. ksunagel, I can still get buttons for you :)

Comment by beatrizm (Ship04 Div192) on May 13, 2010 at 10:27am: I can pick up buttons if anyone needs them, just let me know. ksnugal, I need two ribbons with DIV 192 if you could. I can get buttons for you--how many?
