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 Amber-Brad's mom on August 12, 2010 at 8:49am: Tobiane~Yes, there are 5 Divisions for 8/20. So far with DIv 282 going into battle tonight and Div 283 on the 17th and Div 284 on the 16th. It looks like each Div is doing BS 21 by themselfs and not with other Div's. It does seem strange why div 283 would be going after div 284.

Comment by Amber-Brad's mom on August 12, 2010 at 8:45am: Good Luck Div 282!!!!!!!!!! Im so excited, our first BS 21. All our SR's our soon going to be Sailors!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Son goes through PFA today, I hope he "runs like the wind".

Comment by AlabamaNavyMom(ET2) on August 12, 2010 at 7:59am: I hope everyone that still has to do that last PFA and final test passes with flying colors.

Comment by AlabamaNavyMom(ET2) on August 12, 2010 at 7:57am: Battleships tonight for 282. Very excited and a little nervous. The call tomorrow could make for a great weekend!!!!

Comment by Tobianne on August 12, 2010 at 7:09am: Ok, yes burn for every night of BS, these are all our Sailors.
Battle stations were run with 4 div.s a night in some cases, so 2 and sometimes 3 could run this is a small PIR group. I am correct in thinking only 5 divisions yes? If so, it could be like 8/13. where the music went alone and redos went with them.
not positive just what has happened.
I am not sure about soaking or icing, I just told Kay if possible to go to bathroom or ask for 5 mins of this. I do know they can not take anything on the track with them except, watch and that way they can see their time. She did not want a watch and now she really wished she could have had one to take.
My some leaves for BC on Sept. 20, he will have a watch.
Thinks he will not need it. My kids like most are not built the same way. lol
Kayla is tall like her daddy and Kyle is thin like his dad. Same pappa. She is almost 5'10 Kyle is 5'10, but not tall for guy really. My husband is 6'3 and thin built. I am 5'7 and ya know not thin built.... lol not completely over weight but not thin like the hubby.
Tylenol was given to my daughter for an infection, (I am sure your kids were graced with the GL-crud) so I ask her if she had any left and if so to take this.

I know that they can ask for pain reliever but what they get is unknown.
It is all nerve raking when it comes down to days and honestly moms you will get through this, I am still here. I lost my mind sometime back in June but its alright, I will find it here shortly.

Comment by Amber-Brad's mom on August 12, 2010 at 2:34am: For all members of PIR 8/20 ~ Our Meet and Greet is coming up very soon, Yea. If your attending, think you might, or are going to try, please go to the discussion above and put your name down and how many you would be bringing with you (that way I can give Ramada a head count for the food, I would rather them make to much then not enough). Also at the top of the discussion, it breaks everyone down to who's who in each division, if you would like to be added just leave your info in that discussion (you don't have to be attending the meet and greet to be added to the list). How's everyones ribbons coming?

Comment by kwooley5 (ship06div940) on August 12, 2010 at 2:28am: Not sure if I'll be able to sleep tonight cause I have no idea when DIV 940 is going through.

Comment by Amber-Brad's mom on August 12, 2010 at 2:25am: And if it gets to confusing, I'm just going to burn a Blue candle every night, ha, but it still is nice to know when each div goes through, Cause I will have a very hard time sleeping the night that div 283 goes through.

Comment by Amber-Brad's mom on August 12, 2010 at 2:19am: I have no idea, I thought that was kinda weird too, but a lady from our group got a call today from our div R-POC and he said that was the date
