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."

Me too. I'm really having trouble sleeping now I'm so anious and excited. Monday is going to be un-nerving.
Me too. I never let my cell stray very far from my hand! It sounds like they had a busy week. Today was drill inspection. I hope they kick butt in the captains cup tomorrow! My daughter said they get an easy week after BS! Just practice for PIR.I hope so they had a awful stressful couple of days. Maybe they will even get some recruit heaven!
I'm about to BUST!  My SR got to this DIV after this photo was taken but she told me about it!  Shame...glad you got to see your daughter Wendy!! That's so great!!   I took a blue candel to work on Wed!  *sigh.  Gotta get her a tootsie pop stil other than that we are ready to go! :o)
My daughter requested microwave popcorn and room service since we only have a few hours with her after graduation. Then we will be spending the day with her sitting in the airport. I'm so bummed. I don't know why they push them out within hours a recent SR graduate said there are still kids hanging at GL since she graduated boot and A school!
Do we know if anyone from this DIV made a call home letting someone know they did not pass PFA?
I haven't heard anything. If what my daughter said is true they had the PFT a few days ago. Wednesday I think. I would assume that someone would have heard by now if it was a no-go. So no worries Parrothdgal! Your SR will do fine or rather HAS done fine. I have that picture hanging up in my office at work and my husband has it as his background! I just wish they would start taking the random pictures again! It's been two weeks! How are you holding up?
JUST GOT A CALL...SR DID NOT PASS HER RUN! SEVERAL OTHER GIRLS FROM SAME DIV CALLING HOME NOW SAME THING!
I'm so sorry I didn't see this post. She'll do it! I have all the faith in the world that she'll make it. I'll keep her in my thoughts.
Wendy.......not holding up so well tonight!  It will be good to gets pics againb.  There will be PIR pics...always is.  I will be so happy once this BC is over!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I'm am emotional train wreck!
I know! I cry at the drop of a hat! Its amazing how much you can miss something and miss the constant texts telling me where she is, what shes doing and that she'll be home soon! In less than a week we will be hugging our SR's and the hard part will be behind us/them. At least in A school we can have much more frequent phone contact!
I'm so sorry. She will make it the next time. We're all praying for her. She got tons of support, and so do you.
I will charish knowing what she is up to gain!  She drove me slap crazy when she was @ home and now I can't wait to get her back!
