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."

Yay!!!! SIX days...this is getting SO close I can barely even handle it! I am so excited :)
Just think, right now at this very moment, the PIR for 8/13 is just beginning, wow! We will be there so soon, I wish there was a DVR for life and we could fast forward this week and already be there, ha!
Enjoy your phone calls today 281 & 282, I am so excited for all of you!

282 should be done now - just have to wait patiently (NOT) for the call!
Comment by Tobianne on August 13, 2010 at 8:15am
This is when they start getting very bad infections that can spread to other divs, I girl in Kays old div got Pneumonia and was in RCU. (recruit care unit) Kays complaint was they are all sick those of us that are fighting stuff (not infections) are going to get an infection since these people who live and breath among us will not go and get checked.....
The first week Kayla was there they found someone in her div had MRSA. How do you pass Meps with that really. This chick did not want to say anything and "could have killed the whole div" it is deadly. Girls tell the guys go to medical. it is not just them its other SR's also this is a family and they need to keep each other from getting sick.

Also- mine keeps telling me has a cold, but then it got worse and he had a fever, etc. But he wouldn't go get medicine. He's so stubborn!
Comment by kwooley5 (ship06div940) on August 13, 2010 at 2:05am
DMC20- Mine is in the reserves and a corpsman as well, so yeah, I'm confused about it too!
Comment by Amber-Brad's mom on August 13, 2010 at 1:15am
Me too, I haven't heard about his ankle latley in his letters, So maybe it is better. And I do hope Marc is better for BS, It's a hard enough task going through it, let alone being sick.
Comment by dmc20 (ship 7, div 282) on August 13, 2010 at 12:42am
He is but he will be in the Navy Reserves so I don't know if he will still be a corpsman. That part is very confusing to me still!
Comment by dmc20 (ship 7, div 282) on August 13, 2010 at 12:39am
I can't sleep!!
How long ago did he hurt his ankle Amber, hopefully he is feeling better by now.
Comment by Amber-Brad's mom on August 13, 2010 at 12:38am
No worries, about my leg, It feels soooo much better and I get to go back to work on the 25th, which is great, I really miss it!
dmc20 ~ Is your bf going to be a corpsmen?
Comment by Amber-Brad's mom on August 13, 2010 at 12:36am
So who's not Sleeping, lol. My SR has not said anything about being sick, I ask him all the time and he tells me no. The only thing he's said is about his hurt ankle, which him went to medical for and got it wraped and he pulled a muscle in his foot.
