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 have had my granddaughter on my mind all day. she is on ship 7-div350. This is big day for her today. i hope she can feel my thoughts of encouragement for her  and the rest of her division. these recruits have gotten this far I know they must be a determined group of young people. This has been such an exciting adventure for her grandfather and I . Our hearts just burst with joy thinking of graduation. I know you other parents, wives,, and girlfriends feel the same way.. I will  be so pleased to meet all of you at the big event. Are we to expect a phone call after BS21? Good luck to all of our recruits!!!

Same to you Ms Chapman...
We are all in this together...they have been doing so well so far...We are planning to meet here about 7:45pm to pray and support each other...
I was told there would be the official "I'm a sailor" call after BS21, so I know I won't be paying attention in class tomorrow whatsoever. I know what you mean about your hearts bursting with joy- every time I think about it I start to cry! I hope I don't do that at PIR...I bet your granddaughter can feel your love and thoughts, and I bet she will do very well tonight! I hope the entire division does! And division 349! GO RECRUITS! I can't wait until this time next week :)
