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.

Comment by Momce on July 23, 2010 at 2:40pm: hitomi, I did not rec a ltr with BS date, it was posted by another N4M who did rec a ltr from her son on Ship 12/Div259. . So, I'm hoping this info is correct. However, BS will be happening soon, if Ship 10 just passed it, I wld think that Ship 11 does it Mon./Tue. and Ship 12 wld. be Tue./Wed. I think they go the night before, and it's thru the night to the next day, then we get "the call"...it will be soon and we need to keep sending out the good luck & prayers for our recruits.As for ltrs "to and fro" it is definitely "snail mail".

Comment by Momce on July 23, 2010 at 2:32pm: nnylear, Congratulations ! Yeah !!! What a great day !! Enjoy !! Momce

Comment by Heart Broken on July 23, 2010 at 2:24pm: I just talked to my son I got the I am a Sailor call. Yeah!! Div 254 made it. He sounds tired and he was happy they got to get red bull and candy. I am SO HAPPY! his div get 30 min on the phone. His GF is here so he is talking to her now on my phone.

Comment by Jaz04 on July 23, 2010 at 2:23pm: My son has given me no requests, except to bring a comfy pillow from home. So I imagine a nap is being lead up to.

Comment by Momce on July 23, 2010 at 1:44pm: We're at the Comfort Inn, they provide shuttle too. We also will have rental car. Like you, printed parking pass, not sure which is best. Will decide after checking in and "checking out" surrounding area, base location, etc.

Comment by Jaz04 on July 23, 2010 at 1:41pm: nnylear - I have to laugh because the current insurance is the one item my son never could remember to keep in the car.

Is anyone going to Great America? My husband wants to go but I think my son would be the only one going on the roller coasters. Not something my mom or I care for. My husband doesn't even like them, he just thinks it would be cool to go.

Comment by Heart Broken on July 23, 2010 at 1:23pm: So, Is anyone taking the shuttle in to the base? We are thinking of doing that for sure, We are at the Ramada and they provide that. I have a parking pass printed out so just in case I need to take my car. i will have to make sure our insurance card and registration are in it.

Comment by Momce on July 23, 2010 at 1:17pm: The anticipation of PIR on 7/30/10 is way too much !!! 7 more days "so close, yet so far"....can't wait either Wolf Grrl ! Keeping all fingers and toes crossed as they jump the last hurdle Battle Stations. Sending out the love and good wishes for all our recruits.Momce

Comment by mh4kids (Ship 04 Div 817) on July 23, 2010 at 12:32am: current car registration, binoculars, tide pen...... I haven't even started getting things together. I did print out the parking pass. sounds like you are pretty well prepared. I will check your list while packing...lol! minus the minor child...haha! done that been there. I have 5 kids between the ages 19 and 22. shew! I am tired. I can't wait to see my sailor!

Comment by SOBE,PIR 6/4/10 IT Mom, Italy on July 22, 2010 at 11:39pm: Ditto on Jessicab's answer to christina - there are no tickets!
Suggestion: Send a letter first thing tomorrow asking him if he can change the names on his list, it may be too late, but can't hurt to try. And it's not the end of the world, because if there is room left in the hall, they can come in as extras. And if not, they can hang at the NEX or go back to hotel until after 10:30 - not the ideal situation, but better than not coming for the weekend at all.
