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."

I am so bummed.  No I haven't heard anything.  Looks like I might be on the road before I hear.  I wanted to leave tomorrow afternoon to take it leisurely in case there are weather problems on the way.  Hopefully he will call early! 

On another note, to distract me today I was looking at the PIR group after ours.  They were talking about Medieval Times Show and Dinner in Chicago.  Has anyone here been to one?

Yes that is what it looks like.  Notice that the div 072 guys are calling their families to tell them that; did any of our guys get phone calls today?

I think we all may be crying!  I feel it already too!  Watched a video of a graduation (not our SRs) just to see what it was like, and started to tear up!  Can't imagine when it is my own son down there!  I guess I should probably bring klennex too!!

 

See ya all Thursday night or Friday!  Safe travels to everyone... hope we get those phone calls soon!  I know they will be tired when they call, hope they get an easy day afterwards!
