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."

I was out of town and woke up off and on all night.  I was teaching a class today and kept my phone on.  The students were great and the one time my phone rang in class, it was a local call so I hit ignore. The students knew it wasn't "the call" and just said sighed with me.  Luckily these were college students do I could keep my phone on. 

I got more information today than I have the rest of the time.  He said Div 142 did great.  I asked him about the phone calls and he siad they didn't get reward calls becasue they were expected to do what they did.  I am so relieved to know that they are done and graduation is definite.  I'm looking forward to meeting you next week. Congratulations!

On Monday he said he would be given another chance Wednesday... I haven't heard anything... So, I'm hoping "no news is good news". I SURE that if he were not able to do it, they would have let him call me by now for ticket reasons. :) So, I'm PRAYING I get THE CALL Monday. :) Thank you for your concern and thoughts!

me too! today is my day off and I should've slept in...WIDE awake at 6! I have to travel to Tucson this afternoon and there is a stretch of road where there is NO cell signal...I am SO afraid that THAT is where I will be when he calls!  Can't wait to hear the words! "Hi momma...I'm a Sailor!!" I am so emotional...I get a little weepy just thinking about it!

Thank you so much, CC. You are right. It is much harder than I thought to be strong for him. It's usually the other way around. But I'm hanging in their and praying I do not get a phone call til after battle stations. Thank you again for your good thoughts!

I'm so glad to hear that your son's leg is better.  What a relief! Does it seem like theother divisions get more phone calls?  I guess it is beter to eait for the "I'm a sailor" call at this point.  The waiting and not knowing is the hard part.  Did you see that Battlestations are on Thurs for our division?  I can't wait until Friday!

I'm SO glad that your son's leg is better! I know it must be SUCH a relief for you! It won't be long now and we will be watching our son's standing tall and proud on 4/22!

My son does not give me much information. He has never been one to write letters.  I got a letter on Wednesday and he said this was Hell Week.  He didn't say when BS would  be.  His letters are short but upbeat.  How is your son's leg?  Is he still on track for PIR 4/22?  My son thought he might get a call, but so far no calls.  He called once around week 3.  I guess no news is good news.  I will be glad when BC is done!
