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 annafornavy on May 9, 2010 at 9:04pm: 6 divisons graduate together. We wont get three hours we would only get an hour and half as they have to go back to base and back and head for the airport.. So that is even worse... I am really missing Dustin too. He always made mothers day a GRAND event for me... I will never forget this one that is for sure

Comment by NI39 on May 9, 2010 at 9:03pm: Let me think on the latter and give moms coming in in the next week a chance to add to our questionaire. Let s have it done by the end of the week.....THEY ARE GOING TO CRACK UP!! .Have you connected with anyone? I would ask.

Comment by NI39 on May 9, 2010 at 9:01pm: oh wow! That will be upsetting if we only get three hours...:/ How many divisions will be graduating???? I am really missing him today!

Comment by annafornavy on May 9, 2010 at 8:57pm: From what I have heard the first 2 gradutating divisions are Grad and Go.. Which menas they may leave 3 hours affter graduation or the next day. If they leave 3 hours after graduation we will have about an hour and a half with them.. : ( Which really makes me sad. But I know we can go to the airport with them and stay until they leave. We can get passes to go through security. They will know a couple weeks before graduation what will happen. I am so hoping he doesnt have to leave until Saturday.. I want at least one day with him... : )

Comment by annafornavy on May 9, 2010 at 8:53pm: What other questions do we have? I forgot which ones I have already asked him..

NAVY FOR MOMS QUESTIONER FOR PIR 6/25/10

1) Did you get your wisdom teeth pulled out?

2) Do you get to know other recruits with different divisions but on the same ship 9?

3) Is the Campus nice at Great Lakes? It looks beautiful from pictures on line...

4) Have you been sick at all? Some recruits are saying they got sick after all the shots..

5) What do you miss most about home?

6) Are you starting to get into the groove of your new life at boot-camp?

7) Is there a lot of yelling all the time? How are your RDC’s?

8) Do the days pass by pretty fast because you are so busy?

9) Are your beds comfortable and your able to sleep well?

10) I hear chow time you have to eat very fast how is that working for you?

Comment by NI39 on May 9, 2010 at 7:32pm: And Yes lets make special t shirts for the meet and greet! I love it! Do you know anything about the liberty they get that weekend?

Comment by NI39 on May 9, 2010 at 7:30pm: Aw Danny wanted to do Spec Ops. And I was thinking when you said that we should draw them up a questionaire and send them off! We can call it our Navy 4 Moms.com PIR 6/25 Questionaire!!! And compare notes when they send them backl! hahah

Comment by annafornavy on May 9, 2010 at 6:51pm: NI39: My son is going to be special OPS.I dont know if I spelled that right.. I have to think they would meet over Divisons over the course of their stay there but maybe not since they have to bond as a divison so maybe they dont let them intermingle. I will have to ask Dustin that when I write him tonight. Poor guy.. I already sent him 12 letters LOL... I am sure he will never be able to answer them all. One mom said she sent her son a questionaire. I think I might do that.

I hope we can all meet at the meet and greet reception. We will have to wear somthing that we will know who the navy for moms are.. : )

Comment by annafornavy on May 9, 2010 at 6:46pm: mamabear5: I told Dustin the same thing about the friends he will make in bootcamp and throughout the rest of his carrer that will be there all the days of his life. I cant help but believe we moms will be the same way. This path we have taken together and the support and understanding we have conveyed to one another is PRICELESS. I hope it is the begining of great friendships...
