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."

Comment by L A(MM nuke mom) on May 29, 2012 at 9:23pm: I can't believe we are actually close enough to print out the gate pass. This is so exciting. :) Single digits on the countdown!

Comment by kathyrc(Ship03DIV175)PIR 6/08/12 on May 29, 2012 at 12:06pm: diannep - Thanks! Got ours printed!!

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on May 29, 2012 at 11:26am: Mornin' Folks!

Comment by SarahsMom(Ship03/Div176) on May 29, 2012 at 10:38am: good morning all. Yes DIV 176 is doing awesome. My daughter said yesterday that they had done so well on their dress inspection that they were going to get to by junk food or candy at the NEX. She said she was getting a snickers as soon as she hung up. She has to take all her uniforms and exchange them today as they are all too big!!

She is the 4th on the right side behind the tall guy. All you can see is her watch.... LOL

Comment by diannep on May 29, 2012 at 9:50am: Gate passes are now available for this group. Here is the link:

You can print as many as you want. You write in the info. Remember to use the password from your form letter .... in ALL CAPS. Please do not share passwords with others on here. RTC is very specific that this is a breach of security and you should not do this. Hopefully all kept the form letter in a safe place!

Comment by Gammi2003 (SHIP 03 DIV 176) on May 29, 2012 at 9:37am: s_amburgey - those shoes are smokin'!!! My daughter (Div. 176) called yesterday, talked half an hour, then "cut me off" to call her sister. She is doing so well, and told me that there were pix of their division marching on the RTC facebook page. I did find it, so in case anyone wants to see if they can spot their SR, I'll try to go copy the link to paste it here: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10150888866349651&set=a.... (my SR is the redheaded gal second from the last in that line) but, don't they all have their "military bearing" faces on so well? LOL! Div. 176 won 4 flags and may be getting the E flag...she rattled off the flags they won, but (sorry) I cannot remember what they all were! Only nine more days to graduation, Moms...don't know about y'all, but I cannot wait to see them all in their dress whites marching into the PIR!!!

Comment by diannep on May 29, 2012 at 9:30am: Good morning all!

Comment by kathyrc(Ship03DIV175)PIR 6/08/12 on May 29, 2012 at 9:19am: la - very sweet and ditto from me!!
