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 Tess (Ship 11, Div. 210) on June 8, 2010 at 11:14am: SUSAN M: Thanks for the info. I have a question for you. Should we bring "real" underwear for them at the hotel???!!! That made me laugh. Seriously though, they might want some "normal" stuff to wear while in the hotel room. Please advise.
OMG! I can just see people trampled under foot to get to their sailors. I will resist the urge to trample! Keep the bits of information coming alumni. I will be logging in until the last minute...... :)

Comment by LMC -mom of 2 Sailors! on June 8, 2010 at 10:59am: Amazing how dreams sometimes come true.

Comment by JudyB. on June 8, 2010 at 10:55am: LMC - Thank You, for your concern...Yes I do have a blue handicap sign that I will be bringing along. I had this dream over and over again...that I would be wearing a cast on my foot!! I even tried to be extra careful at the lake "Memorial Day" week; but the first thing out of the RV what do I find the only hole on site. LOL

Comment by LMC -mom of 2 Sailors! on June 8, 2010 at 10:44am: T- did you see if you could get a tempary handicap pass for the car? Maybe your docotr could give you something since it's going to be a real long day with the walking and sitting. Just a thought.

Proud gma- safe trip to you. See ya in Chicago! (area LOL)

Comment by Abbe(IKE)mom on June 8, 2010 at 12:56am: ok, SusanM, so the part about them marching in just made me tear up. OMG, it's going to be awesome! thanks for sharing.~abbe

Comment by Charles' Mom Ship 11 Div 210 on June 7, 2010 at 11:18pm: Hello Ladies, my son called Friday letting me know that he completed Battleship 21 and got his navy Cap. Unfortunetely I missed his call, so i had to settle for his voicemail. Nevertheless - I am happy he is finished with it. He was eating beef jerkey and had a rd bull or monster drink. He sounded so good and relieved at the same time. I think it is time now to stop writing letters. I wouldn't think that they get there before Friday....In reference to Graduation...my son said that it is mandatory for active duty family members to wear Class A Uniforms, and it is optional for retired/ veterans. Can anybody confirm this information please?

Comment by JudyB. on June 7, 2010 at 10:20pm: Hi Pam.. I really think that recruit heaven is one of the same They call" Ricky Heaven" Arwen posted a couple pages back...I like his description, I will try to find it!!
