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."

Just an fyi if you are going thru kentucky into indiana they have closed one of the bridges that cross the ohio river be on the lookout for extremly heavy traffic going thru that area . Please be careful to who all will be traveling. Hope to see you all at the meet n greet tomorrow. Thank you for the support the laughter the prayers. And congratulations to all our newest sailors YOU MADE IT! Congrats to all their familied! WE MADE IT!

Comment by Anita n Ohio on September 14, 2011 at 8:21am: Julie - if you want a ride to the Meet and Greet, let me know.

Fireteam - the only safe type of candle! Too many residential runs due to candles.

I hope to see everyone on here next week talking about the great times they spent with their SAILORS! 24 hrs and we'll be on the road to Chicago! 6 hour drive for us (##south side of Chicago = VERY BAD! Stay on interstate if traveling through that area). Can't wait to see everyone at the meet and greet and give ya a big ol' HUG for all the support, tears and concerns we've shared. I'm gonna miss this page and talking to everyone. God Bless your loved one, may their journey in the Navy be a wonderful road of adventure. May you fondly remember the love, laughs, tears, stresses and trials we shared together as WE survived boot camp - together!

I won't say "Goodbye" to you because I plan to run into you in the future! My email is ineedak@aol.com and my facebook account is Anita K Jacobs Ficke for those that would like to keep in touch. NOW! Where is the roll of paper towels I'm going to need for Friday :-)

Comment by cluebee on September 14, 2011 at 8:09am: Love the name Emma! I am a huge Jane Austen fan, though. I also like the name Darcy for a girl.

Comment by Julie on September 14, 2011 at 7:54am: Well ladies, the day I have finally been waiting for as arrived. Got the text saying we will be leaving at 7:30am! Ughh, so long I have waited for this. Hopefully Im ready for the 12 hour car drive with his family. LOL!
Hope we all get some calls today!
Sadly I don't think I will be able to make it to the meet and great since I got voted out on what to do Thursday night (they don't know about this site) but I hope to maybe seeing one or two of you at the PIR!
