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."

Stacey-I could be wrong, but I thought the first group was going through Battlestations tonite, so the calls wouldn't come until sometime tomorrow, but again I could be wrong...

My daughter is 20...decided to join the Navy in February.  She had been a part of Army JROTC all through highschool then did 1 1/2 years ROTC in college when she decided on Navy.  We are very proud of her decision and support the branch she chose 100%!!  Can't wait until 8/26....just won't get here fast enough!

I've said my prayers this evenng and have my blue candle burning!!

I thought I would see posts today from mom's after receiving their I'm A Sailor calls.  Did our first group go last night??
Comment by caylex 9/279 on August 18, 2011 at 10:01pm
Aww, that stinks though that you don't get to march if that happens.  How disappointing would that be!?
Comment by Jana on August 18, 2011 at 9:53pm
When does the final PFA take place?  Is it right before Battlestations?
Comment by diannep on August 18, 2011 at 9:50pm

Yes, caylex:  If they fail BattleStations the first time, or don't pass their PFA until the Thurs before PIR, they would do BattleStations that night...be in the balcony at PIR, too tired to march, but in uniform. 

Very few fail BattleStations so I wouldn't worry.  I have never seen a SR miss PIR due to failing BattleStations.  They always pass that 2nd time and only 1-2 percent fail the first time, if that many.

Comment by caylex 9/279 on August 18, 2011 at 9:45pm
HOW did I miss info on the blue candles??  lol  I have 3 drawers of votive and jar candles. There's bound to be a blue on in there!  Thanks for the tip.
