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."

        Aren't these just the longest days in your life?  I'm now a mailbox junkie, hangin' out by the box all the time just waiting for that letter!

        Does anyone have a son or daughter Ship 6, Div 945?  Being a performance division, I'd love to hear what you know about the workload and their (few) extra privileges.

        Thank you all!

My son spins the rifles. He knocked one of his teeth out last year doing it at school. LOL Hope he has the rest of his teeth when we get there LOL
I can so see how that could happen, if I were spinning rifles, I'd have no teeth.
Me too Desert Girl!! AND bumps all over my head!! LOL
When is 945 doing BS?
I believe it is sometime the week of graduation, usually on Monday nights. Just depends on which division has it when.
Keep a look out on the RTC facebook page today (or can I say that on here, LOL). Today is graduation day and I believe Division 945 is performing so you may get a glance at them. :)
I@ chefywifey- went on there. I saw one that Looks like my son. My husband says no. Grrr. Hope we get more pictures today. Thanks!
More than likely it was. :)
WooHoo!! I see my SR!!! Like all my best dreams coming true! He looks good. I'm so proud. Can hardly type through my tears!!!!! Thanks SO much, Chefswifey, for sending the link! Whaletalkers, if you think that's your SR, it probably is. . . a mom knows these things!
@Chefswifey!! OH YEAH!! I am Scoping it!!! LOL
I also read somewhere, I cant remember where, that 900 divisions do BS at the begining of the BS week. Probably because they have to be at their best and practice for the PIR. But Captains Cup is next weekend right? or this weekend?
Next weekend is Captains Cup on Saturday morning. Fun times for all of them. They are up against Navy Seals, so fingers crossed they kick some butt. LOL.
