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."

Since we will all be sitting in the same section of the bleachers at PIR, maybe it would be nice to have us all post something here in this section.  We could keep up with what the Division is doing by the letters others are receiving from this Division as well.

Did you spot your SR?  I haven't spotted mine in any!  :(  Oh well.  She did confirm in her letter that they took their pic in that class.

Didn't spot her. Oh well....

Everyone is so quiet this morning.  All I can think about is them in that ceremony this morning getting their new Sailor caps (hopefully)  I'm so darn emotional!  Are you ladies feeling the same as me??  I feel like I must be way out there!!!
Oh, you're not way out there, we are right there along with you, trust me! I want it more for her than anything...after 11 weeks in bootcamp, she is ready to put it behind her and move on. The feeling must be euphoric
Tricsious i'm right there with ya!

My SR said she would probably get to call between 1-5.  That seems like an eternity away right now!!!!  Yikes

My stomach is tied in knots!!!  The suspense is killing me!!!  I can tell I'm not going to be very productive this morning until I hear something!!! Ahhhhh!! :-)   Woke up quite a lot last night and said a prayer each time.  The blue candle stayed lit all night long and the house didn't burn down.... (it was in a tall glass cylinder).

Will be staying on this website as much as possible. 

*sigh* I'm so sad to hear that 7 did not pass their PFA.  And it concerns me too, since we have not received a letter or anything from our SR since last week.....I'm still working under the assumption that no news is good news.  (crossing fingers)

I'm right there with ya.  Stomach in nots and glued to the computer.  Maybe if I do something productive it will help pass this time!!  This is the craziest feeling!

9:30..... Hope they are celebrating and receiving new caps! I can't get anything accomplished this morning for thinking of division 174
I should be doing so many things, but I'm glued here..not sure why! Maybe because I know whoever gets a call will post is ASAP?!
I looked and looked and didn't see my SR either. :-(  But in one week I will get to see her in person!!!  HooYah!
