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!

Rebecca, I'm so very happy for you! Congrats to James. With this huge hurdle out of the way, the remaining time will seem to fly by. I wish you both smooth sailing the rest of the way.
Rebecca that is so AWESOME!! Glad that you finally received a phone call!!! WooHoo!
Would love for you to join our group on Facebook too!! Again...Congratulations to James and YOU!! It's been a long journey and hopefully we'll all have "fair winds and following seas" the rest of the way!! :)
How do I join the Facebook group?
So happy for you and James; a big hurdle is over. On to the next phase; I wish him and all of Delta and Charlie good luck.
I just want to thank all of the wonderful people I have met on here and FB. Between the 2 sites, I feel so must more connected with what James is going though. I even got to have a good night's sleep after talking with him last evening and learning he had passed.

You are all great and I'm so glad that James' girlfriend, Amanda, told me about N4Ms.
As has been said by many who have completed OCS this site is a godsend, and we would not have made it through without it. Happy to hear you were able to get some sleep last night. It takes awhile to get to that point.
Anyone looking for information on this page?

Please go to the facebook page:

OCS Class 14-10 Families and Friends

this is where you will find everyone!!
Hey 14-10! So glad to hear about you LOs passing! Huge hurdles are being passed and you guys are headed into a most exciting phase! Miss some of you over in 13-10...just wanted to check in and see how things are going. Our prayers and thoughts are continuing for you and your LOs throughout OCS!
Thanks bradysmom....appreciate your thoughts and prayers. Big week coming up this week too!
Not much happening on N4M's with this class....guess we're all on FB!
14-10,
we miss you on this site too! We miss seeing all your chatter, and hearing from the class before us!
Come talk to us on N4M's, we need to hear how your LO's are doing so we can prepare ourselves for what's to come! Anyway, congrats on your LO's successes!
Sorry about that way2go....guess we've all migrated to 14-10's Facebook page. We have alot of action there!
From my understanding...all of 14-10 passed mid-PFA on Monday....now we're all on pin & needles waiting to hear about ORLP!
We'll try to do better....we don't want to leave future classes hanging in the balance!
oh that's ok Vonne, it just seems so quiet now that 12-10 is graduating, that just leaves 13-10 and you guys for us to pull from, haha!
Congratulations again on your LO's passing PFA's, it must be getting so exciting for you now!
Prayers are with you all.
