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.

What is your SRs last name, on the phone with daughter and she said if she knows the last name she will tell me if she knows him or not..
Ridgeway
She said he passed, but is waiting on a phone, or might be at the NEX eating, but he still has a chance to call, she said that everyone is just so excited that they don't know which end is up...
My dtr said he is SIQ.  He passed but wasn't feeling well.  She said he earned a call so will get to call to make it up.
I really love how all the SAILORS know what is going on and are here to back each other and let us know what's going on. WTG 173/174
My daughter said that they all are going to put each other on their facebook lists...talk about coming together... I am so proud of all of them...
Like! Like!
How great that they have all FINALLY come together!!!
I still haven't heard a word from my son. I am more worried now than ever. I wish someone would call me and tell me what's going on.
This is the one time when no news is good news doesnt work. I hope that you get the call soon. They do say if they have watch that they call a little later. My daughter got to call again tonight. She has lost 12 pounds with her wisdom teeth ordeal. She is also on new meds and will see an oral surgeon in Wisconsin. At least she seems in good spirits. It has to be hard to know that something from teeth pulling is holding you back. It must also be hard to know that this would have  been your day to become a sailor and you couldnt participate.
I had read somewhere that someone had to wait until really late to get a call once not that long ago. I'm sure if any of us get another call, we can ask about him for you.
My dtr said she is sad about your dtr and what has happened.  She went on and on about what a nice girl she is and how unfair it is that this happened to her.  I'm very sorry for her!!  It's great to hear her spirits are up.  Is she coming home to go to oral surgeon or to her duty station?
