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."

@navysgravy... LOL... He needed a good dose of how to deal with others and pushups never hurt anyone!!

It took us less than an hour from hotel to PIR hall with us driving. I didn't think that was bad at all with 13 DIV graduating. I think shuttle or car both work out great. I prefer having my car but others have raved about the shuttle. I think either one works great :-)
Comment by jvptxmom on July 7, 2011 at 7:48pm
Yea on all the letters! I'm hoping to get one tomorrow or Saturday.
And gsskygirl...I hope it's not my son...LOL! If it is...I apologize! :)
It can't be easy making boys into men, or Sailors!

Thanks for answering my question. I know he will tell me what he wants me to bring but I wanted to hear some of the things others had asked for. He doesn't always think ahead and I wanted to be able to suggest some things he might need. I plan on taking a smaller bag to the PIR and then mailing anything else later as he phases up. Yes, he is staying in GL for his A-school. He is going for GM (gunner's mate). I found out that he can have the bag after he gets checked into A-school. I will probably suggest that he not take it back to RTC until he is moved or Sunday night. I'll make sure he can have it before he gets to take it back!

I got my first letter today!!  There seem to be several people that don't know how to listen and follow command = push ups!

Finally got a letter from my daughter today. Totally made my day. She sounds very upbeat and says that next week they get to fire weapons and have their 1st official PT test

I Give To You, My Son-

I held him as an infant; I hugged him as a boy

and through the years he has become my greatest pride and joy.

I love him more than I can say,

his life more precious than my own,

but gone are the whims and notions of the little boy that I had known.

For the years have passed so quickly since the time it all began

and now he stands before me with the conviction of a man.

He wants to serve his country, he states aloud with pride

as I try to sort out the emotions that I'm feeling deep inside...a union of the uncertain fear, which I cannot control

and the allegiance which lies deep within my patriotic soul.

I trust that my years of guidance will serve as a strong foundation

as he performs the duties requested from his beloved nation.

God please guide him as he travels to the places our soldiers have bled

and walk with him through pathways where those heroes' feet have tread.

Oh Sweet Land of Liberty, humbly I give to you, my son

praying you'll return him safely home when his work for you is done.

---Author unknown--

 

I just wanted to share this with everyone.  I thought it was really nice.  It really speaks my heart these days....
