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 myson4/820 on October 12, 2011 at 3:12pm: On the website it says they will post the honor grads 2 days before graduation, but they aren't posted yet. Does anyone know when they are usually posted?

Comment by myson4/820 on October 12, 2011 at 1:44pm: Hey Sister--that sounds amazing, but I'm new and I don't have any idea how to find the photo once it is uploaded and what do you mean that you won a picture? Help, because I really want to see it!

Comment by NavySister907 on October 12, 2011 at 1:18pm: Attn all 04/820 families! I have won a picture of our division on the Facebook RTC page! It will post later today! Will be our first chance to see our SAILORS! :)

Comment by roe821 (Ship 02/ Div 948) on October 12, 2011 at 11:11am: Wishing everyone a safe journey and Congratulations to all our new Sailors!! See you in Great Lakes.

Comment by mattsmom on October 12, 2011 at 10:08am: granny d, Sending prayers to your Daughter again, I hope she makes it in time and if not,she'll make it eventually,and thats the main thing.!!! There's a reason for everything as they say, hoping for the very best for her and your family :-)

Safe travels everyone, see you soon !!!!

Comment by myson4/820 on October 12, 2011 at 9:48am: Does everyone realize that we only have exactly 48 hours before ceremony begins!!! So excited, but you probably can't tell.... So, just to make sure, you understand, while I'm typing this I'm doing my happy dance--can hardly keep my hands on the keyboard because they are flying every which way, kicking my feet up and jumping up and down! I'm doing a bit of a head banging move, but more from side to side, than front to back and I'm so loud with the YAYs that my next door neighbor has called complaining about me!!! WOO HOO!!!

Comment by Sandy's_sailor son on October 12, 2011 at 8:36am: granny d. That is very sad. I am sorry your daughter is having trouble with her PFA. She is not the only one. Here is a link to the FIT. If a SRs don't pass their run. They are placed into the FIT program until they pass. Here is the link to the group just in-case: http://www.navyformoms.com/group/fitprogram

Comment by Kris' proud mom on October 12, 2011 at 8:32am: Good Luck Granny we are all rooting for your SR!!!! Best Wishes and Luck to her!!!

Comment by proud2baNavyMom on October 12, 2011 at 8:27am: Granny I am so so sorry to hear about you SR. Prayers are going up and I know she will make it. I agree with whom ever said there is a reason and she is intended to be there for an unknown reason. She will prevail. 2 more days ladies. will hopefully be seeing some of you tom night. Diannep will change after I get back form PIR. Not planning on taking laptop with me but I may and change it earlier if I can.

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on October 12, 2011 at 3:00am: Oh granny d...I'm so sorry! Please read nsjc04's post to you and diannep's...the info will help you with decisions about PIR. She might pass and if not then you might still be able to spend some time with her. I know missing PIR is a disappointment (if that happens) but the important thing now is that she passes so, praying for her and you!

Here's a hanky:
