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 27, 2010 at 2:48pm: Linda A: now that is funny... I know Dustin would love that... He loves his basketball.. : )

Comment by annafornavy on May 27, 2010 at 2:47pm: Noelle: Great minds think alike.. I have this verse framed and hanging in my dining room. I made the boys read it everyday... To start their day out positive.. : ) I know my son is in 223 but they work out with 224 he said. I pray that is not true. You would have gotten a call by now if that were the case. I really believe in my heart he was just on watch and didnt get to call. : (

Ihpa: I wish there was something we could do to make you feel better about this. I know it hurts your heart that she is struggling and you cant get to her to wrap your arms around her and give her that secure, assuring and reaffirming hug that only a mom can give. And then you can start building her back up. You need to tell her that she can beat this mile run it is not going to get the best of her. She has come to far and succeded so many things already that this is a hurdle not a mountain she has to get over.. Every road we travel is sprinkled with some adversity as adults we know this all to well, they are just begining to understand this. Tell her it is not the road she travels that matters it is how well she travels the road. 10% of life is what happens to us 90% of life is how we deal with it.. I am just trying to give you some encouraging things to say to her.. We are here for you.. And we will help you carry your load.

Comment by Nancy (MAA Mom) on May 27, 2010 at 2:04pm: lhpa(jazz mom+dad)ship9div225 - My daughter is having trouble with the 1.5 run as well. She's scheduled for remedial training but there's been no word yet on whether her grad date will be changed.

Comment by LindaA AM Mom on May 27, 2010 at 1:17pm: Okay, I'm a little bit confused. I went to the Orlando Magic/Celts game last night. I had a dream I went to PIR and they all showed up in Pro Basketball Uniforms!!!

Comment by NI39 on May 27, 2010 at 12:49pm: Awww... lhpa(jazz mom+dad)ship9div225 .these challenges will make her stronger and fight harder I am sure of it! :)

Comment by lhpa(jazz mom+dad)ship9div225 on May 27, 2010 at 12:42pm: Hi Moms ,I'm feeling down about my daughter being sent back from 221 to 225, now her graduation is 1 weel later, june 25th. She has been having problems with her mile 1/2 run ,I pray and hope that she can get motivated by a fellow recriut and push her and motivate her. I feel bad because I know it's hard for her, she's only 18 years old and this is her first time away from home,besides she's had so many problems with her teeth she had a few surgeries done to her gums,so I know all of these changes are hell for her.I pray she passes the run any moms that can relate?

Comment by NI39 on May 27, 2010 at 11:48am: annafornavy (ship 09 DIV 223 ) that is the scripture I sent in Danny's first letter! :)
So I am just curius about the rumour that 3 people in DIV. 224 did not pass thier tests so therefore did not get a call? Is this true? Becuase on the RTC website it states if someone has a setback they get a call home. Can anyone who has more info please share?

Comment by JENN 226 on May 27, 2010 at 11:47am: i thinkw e are booking a room at the ramada also!oh I am so excited~ 28 days sounds like nothing compared to the 8 weeks when we started ahh i am soo very happy! Plus for me its kinda less the 28 daysb since ii leave the 23rd.. so my adventure to my sailor is in 26 days heheh (hey every bit counts)!
