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."

My fiance is in class 14-10. I got to talk to him for about 5 minutes last night and he's already lost his voice! They have to yell everything at the top of their lungs! I'm in the Navy also and I'm so used to being the one who leaves! I'm the one who has to tell everyone else not to worry, so its really weird being on the other side of it!

Congrats cjeanb2!
jlees - hope you hear something soon!
Hey everyone...she called! This morning at just after 7:30, and she's doing great. Her voice was a little hoarse, but she's doing great. She passed it on the first try, and now into the next phase. We were so happy to hear from her.
Congratulations jlees!!! So, so happy for you that you received your call!! I know it is a huge relief for you to hear from her....you probably didn't get any sleep last night! lol
Are you a member of our FB page? If not, you need to join us there as well!
Have an AWESOME day today!! :)
Thank you. We are breathing a little easier this morning. What is the FB....Facebook? I'm not at all savvy to Facebook. Do I just go to the site? or do I have to do something. Sorry to be so naive to all this.
I'll send you a private message......
Good for you, jlees! Our prayers have been answered. How exciting, congrats.
congratulations! I don't know your daughter...is she C or D? And whatis her name? Coe join us on the facebook page...it's sooooo wonderful!
So if we haven't heard yet, does that mean they didn't pass? I know when James didn't pass the first time, he didn't call to tell us that till Monday.
Rebecca.....some people are receiving calls this morning. Is James in Charlie or Delta? I think Delta people haven't received calls yet, but I'm just now reading posts for the morning, so not really sure. I know that jlees just received a call this morning. Hang in there! Let us know when you receive a call.....Good Luck!! :)
Ashley's hatchmate is someone by the last name of Childress. Is anyone on this page his wife or parent. Would love to find you.
James called this AM, He Passed! He is in Delta. He failed Thursday night, but passed on Saturday. Now he is getting ready for the big test on Monday. It was so awesome to hear his voice. He sounded really good, really positive. I am really proud of him. He said most of them did pass the second time. So I suppose everyone will be getting calls soon.
Rebecca, that is wonderful news. I was hoping you got your phone call and the news would be great! Happy Sunday!
