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 bryters ATI Whidbey Island on May 19, 2010 at 6:31pm: I don't know anything about the candle. Can anyone help me with that?

Comment by LindaTX-Proud Mom of Salior on May 19, 2010 at 6:02pm: I got a letter today too. BS for my son's div is the 24th. He did gas chamber last week and said it was not fun. Fire test was Monday, he wrote this last Sunday so don't know how that went. He has ordered DVD and pictures to send to me. Sounds like he is ready to go to A school. Sounded good!!

Comment by Jill-FLA-Proud Mom of a Sailor on May 19, 2010 at 5:53pm: We received a letter from C! Not much information but still counting the days. No info about the tests, etc., except things are getting a little tense. I am sure everyone is totally stressed out coming this far and knowing that they still have a few more hurdles to go. He did say that his school will not start for 2 weeks after PIR. That should give him a little bit of a break!

Comment by michaelsmom(ship14/div195) on May 19, 2010 at 4:53pm: Hey Lori yes i just RSVP'd for the Ramada i am so excited to meet everyone :)

Comment by lori on May 19, 2010 at 4:21pm: michaelsmom- I had heard the earlier div are doing their BS this fri. I know 199 has theirs next tue-wed. We will already be in GL when I get the call! Talk about
a little stressful! But I know they will do just great. They have gotten this far and the chief doesn't want to see them fail at this point.

Are you going to M&G? If so I'm doing a color corsage for each div and I hadn't seen anyone from 195 post on our M&G site. Please let me know- I'd love to get you one!

Comment by michaelsmom(ship14/div195) on May 19, 2010 at 4:05pm: Good luck Denise i sure hope you do get the call from your son and get to talk to him that's what Michael said he was looking forward to talking to me i sure miss him and can not wait to see him!!

Comment by TxNukeMom on May 19, 2010 at 2:53pm: Thank you so much!

Comment by Jakesmom on May 19, 2010 at 2:44pm: It can be warm but ususally there is a breeze because it's right on the lake. Pack long and short pants and plan on dressing in layers. Right now in Wisconsin it's almost 80 now and we are about 3 hours north of GL. But that can change over night this time of year. Remember your umbrella too. My guess it that is for pictures Becky. sounds about right. I can do a weather update next week - it's alot like here....

Comment by TxNukeMom on May 19, 2010 at 2:37pm: So BS is this week?

Comment by TxNukeMom on May 19, 2010 at 2:32pm: Does anyone have an idea of what the weather is like up at the Great Lakes (for packing purposes). Also, there was a $167 charge coming out of my recruits checking account. Would that be for pictures?

Congrats Michaels mom!!!
