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 Micaela (AO Wife) on September 14, 2011 at 9:07pm: feels* i cannot spell i still have puffy eyes lol

Comment by Micaela (AO Wife) on September 14, 2011 at 9:07pm: 1stlove: it will come....dont you worry. but like i said you can go to sleep knowing that their division is one of the best ones in their training group right now and that nobody seems to be hanging behind. hubby said the last 2 days oh "hell week" were going to be the determining factors so they may already know by now or its annouced at PIR im not sure how that goes! but Thank you and Thank You to Christa for the shared excitement of my husband. I cannot explain the joy and love my heart feal. I broke down sobbing in the middle of my university today when his mother called me and told me the letter he wrote (she got hers before mine) and I could not get it together for the rest of the day!

but i just wanted to express how thankful I am for this website and for the friends I have made whom have all been there for me for the ups and downs as we begin this journey! HOOYAH!

and God is good!!!

Comment by 1stlove (02/946) on September 14, 2011 at 8:14pm: Wow micaela how proud u must be...I would be gleaming.... No mail today but I kinda should if known better I'm usually a day after you....

Comment by Christa (Proud Navy Mom) on September 14, 2011 at 8:10pm: Congrats to your SR, Micaela!!

I performed a search for the Military Excellence Award on this site. Here's what I found: "MILITARY EXCELLENCE AWARD: Presented to the graduating recruit who best exemplifies the qualities of enthusiasm, devotion to duty, military appearance and behavior, self-discipline and teamwork. This is the #1 award a recruit can earn." [I found this in the Centennial PIR Group (07/01/11).]

Comment by Micaela (AO Wife) on September 14, 2011 at 8:02pm: Quick question maybe for Diannep: Do you or does anybody know where I could find out a bit of info on the "Military Excellence Award" I am elated to say that my hubby will be receiving that at PIR.....He just asked me to find out a little of what it means lol...I researched online and haven't really gotten a defintion per se. Thank You so much! and almost there ladies!!!!

Comment by Christa (Proud Navy Mom) on September 14, 2011 at 7:51pm: Congrats Div 325! So very happy for you. Enjoy your photo!!!
