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."

In my voice mesage he said he may have more free time this afternoon to call again to go over details about Graduation..... And Yes girls I am blonde.. Dang it!

Comment by Aliott1200 (Ship 10, Div 256) on July 28, 2010 at 2:31pm: Good luck to every1 with their sailor calls. Keep us all posted!

Comment by Aliott1200 (Ship 10, Div 256) on July 28, 2010 at 2:28pm: Thank you for the info and well wishes Sobe. I am so relieved, especially since he only took that test 4 times. I feel so blessed to have N4M. I don't think I would have survived without the assistance and well wishes. Bless you all.

Comment by Vic28(Former Ship 10 Div 254) on July 28, 2010 at 2:26pm: It is 1:24PM Great lakes Time.. Stay close to your phone Ladies!!!!!! (and Gents)
This is sooo exciting!!!!!
Aliott1200.... I have my fingers, legs, and eyes crossed for you and your recruit too!

Comment by SOBE,PIR 6/4/10 IT Mom, Italy on July 28, 2010 at 1:41pm: Aliott1200 - first, your family and your recruit are in my prayers! Second, even if he does BS-21 with another division tonight (or even last night), he is still considered to belong to his normal division and will be with them at PIR (praying everything else worked out).

Reminder to all: Those recruits who have passed everything but are too tired from either being ill or doing last minute exercises (like BS or PFA) WILL be at PIR, but they will not stand with their division, they will sit in a special area. The Navy does this to protect our loved ones from collasping during the ceremony (okay - they really do it to protect their investment in them!). So don't freak if you don't see them!

Comment by Aliott1200 (Ship 10, Div 256) on July 28, 2010 at 1:32pm: Just trying to get an idea where my son will be at graduation? If he will be with his original group or if he will be with his new group?

Thank you for the info.

Comment by Jaz04 on July 28, 2010 at 1:28pm: Aliott - I know 259 & 260 are today, I believe from Lace's comment 817 is too.

Comment by Aliott1200 (Ship 10, Div 256) on July 28, 2010 at 12:55pm: Does anyone know what /shipdivision is going to Battle Station today?

Comment by Aliott1200 (Ship 10, Div 256) on July 28, 2010 at 12:29pm: Thanks Lace and thanks to everyone who listened to me vent. Can't wait to meet everyone.
