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 mary on June 20, 2010 at 7:28pm: Thank God for the Captain"s Cup. Got one more phone call. Anxiously awaiting BS call. This journey will soon be over and we will be one to the next. Thanks to everyone who has posted comments. It has been very helpful when you feel so helpless. Love you all and can't wait to finally meet in person. Please be safe on the road.

Comment by annafornavy on June 20, 2010 at 6:36pm: It is so hard to believe this longroad we have been traveling on together the past many weeks is about to come to a close. I understand how the man that wrote the letter about bootcamp siad they giuys are kinds sad to see it come to end as they know this will be there last time together as a group.. That is how I feel about all of you. I will miss the daily contact with the women who became such a pivotal leaning post in my life.. I know I will be a emotional mess on Thursday night and Friday morning. I will be sitting on GO waiting to rush out of my seat and wrap my arms around my SON.... AAAAA!!! I told him I would let everyone else go first and I am waiting at the back of the line to have my moment with him.. WE have 6 extra people coming beside the 4 ticketed guests... He will be shocked to see us all. I know battlestaions are Tuesday so I will anxiously await a call on Wed...

Valerie: I was hoping just amybe a call would come through as well but I knew in my heart of hearts it would praobly be next Wed before I heard his voice again... The honor of winning the Captains Cups offers many rewards.. : ) Pizza, candy and calls... How exciting for DIV's 814 and 932!!!

Comment by valerie2088 on June 20, 2010 at 6:09pm: I know!!!! I'm getting sooo EXCITED!!!! Goosebumps running all through me now!!!! I think I'm going to take my daughter to Verizon and buy her a new cell phone for graduation! I think she will love it and she won't be that far away and can call anytime (I hope!) when she's in A school.

Comment by smtblnde(ship4Div814) on June 20, 2010 at 5:58pm: Valerie ~ Just a few more days!!! You won't need the phone!!! ;)

Comment by valerie2088 on June 20, 2010 at 5:57pm: :( - I though so, just wanted to double check. Thanks - I'm going to pack my suitcase!

Comment by smtblnde(ship4Div814) on June 20, 2010 at 5:55pm: Valerie ~ Div 814 got calls for winning the captain's cup. It was an extra call. I don't think the other divisions get another call until after BS.

Comment by valerie2088 on June 20, 2010 at 5:13pm: Has anyone else received calls from their recruits this weekend? Nothing here and I'm sitting on the edge of my seat.....wondering, hoping they all passed their final tests.

Comment by valerie2088 on June 20, 2010 at 5:12pm: To Kyle's mom - my heart is so full right now reading all the posts and the outpouring of all those, including me, praying for Kyle and your family. Have you heard anything more? I suspect he is in RCU - am I right? My daughter was there for over 2 months, so I know the agony you must be going through. I am praying that whatever happened to Kyle is just a minor setback and all the prayers will bring him and your family to Friday's graduation. I look forward to meeting you and the rest of the group. Hang in there...God will take care of him and we will take care of you.

Comment by Stef's Mom USS Bonhomme Richard on June 20, 2010 at 4:55pm: Jill - 4 days and a wake up, that's how I keep track of it. Div 932 won at the Captain's Cup also and they got to call and eat candy and drink Soda. I can't wait until Friday.

Comment by SOBE,PIR 6/4/10 IT Mom, Italy on June 20, 2010 at 4:39pm: I love the last week of bc - I am reliving my son's through this groups posts! All of a sudden they can call, you will see them on Facebook if they get liberty to go to Ricky Heaven, they will get the worst food they can find - and then.... they will have zits on PIR day, at least my son did. He couldn't figure it out until I reminded him of those last few days of bc at Ricky Heaven and all the Red Bulls he drank while chatting to us on the phone!!!! I'm so happy for all of you and still praying for Kyle and his family.
