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."

here4... I hate this...I think I have made myself sick! I cant get rid of tummy cramps...day 3 now! I am doing al I can to hold it together. I could hardly bring myself to come here tonight and read up. I don't want to break down and I don't want to get my hopes up! I don't understand there are only 2 left one has a swim issue....that's not out girls so I guess you are right one of us will get a call? But that call should have come @ the same time as G'moms!?!? So now no news is bad news as well! Holy cow! I'm going to call Wed morning if i have not heard anything. I have to know before Thursday morning! I just want to go to bed and cry! Think I will!

G'mom Thanks for asking! I know they are not to talk about other SR's by name...I should have told you my SR's last name! Happy for you really!

eights~ Wooohooo!

I pray I get to come celebrate with you all in GL!

Comment by girlsyk01 on June 6, 2011 at 10:10pm: Ha ha. Pun intended!!

So what do you think of my pic? My oldest daughter calls them the "Fabulous Five!" Hope I don't get in trouble. Is that kind of picture okay?

I am packing right now!!!! Woohoo!!!

Dianne, you are such a Godsend!! I'm so glad that poor gal doesn't have to go through this alone.

I'll check back when my bag is all packed! :)

Comment by FREEBIRD6819 OCT 8TH BOOTCAMP on June 6, 2011 at 10:10pm: ok .. diane .. would i have heard if my sr did not pass his pfa today ?

Comment by gnomesweetgnome Ship 11/Div199 on June 6, 2011 at 10:05pm: girlsyk..."shave some time off..." HAHAHA, pun intended? ;) Don't worry, this group doesn't disappear once PIR occurs...many PIR groups are still active after graduation. FB is just another way for us to connect. :) It's a group for all of us that have SR's (or Sailors!) graduating 6/10.

jeffiner-I saw your profile pic and I was like "what...the heck...is that?!?!" then it put a smile on my face. :)

Comment by diannep on June 6, 2011 at 9:44pm: here4kids and par: Ugh...on not hearing anything today. There was another mom on an earlier PIR group who messaged me and wanted my cell number. She was so upset when she called because her son had not been allowed to call after trying the run again. She vented for a long time...then called me back in tears a few minutes later to tell me that he had just called, he made his run, and was headed into BattleStations. So....praying that call or no call, they are on their way either tonight or tomorrow night through BattleStations!

You both are going to need LOTS of chocolate after going through all of this! :-)

Comment by diannep on June 6, 2011 at 9:36pm: G'sMom: HUGE congrats to you and your new sailor!

Comment by diannep on June 6, 2011 at 9:32pm: MrsMink: Take the shuttle....you will be saying goodbye to your sailor right after PIR anyway until the move to GL is made.

Comment by diannep on June 6, 2011 at 9:04pm: Ok, there are lots of pages to go back through here...and my sailor is talking to me on the phone right now...so I can't go back and read all...if there are any questions that haven't been answered today, please ask again! I'm getting ready to get off the phone with my son. Will try to answer then!

Comment by missmysr(ship11div195) on June 6, 2011 at 8:43pm: Reign, my son is also undesignated and he has seamanship school at Great Lakes, then gets about a week of leave in mid July and then goes to Norfolk, so maybe your is the same?
