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."

Ship 12, Div 369

Yippeee!!!!  I've created this group.  I'm so proud of myself.  And I'm SOOOOOOOO happy that I got my son's address today.  It's day 4 since he left for BC and his recruiter called me with it this morning.  I can't wait to "meet" all of you!

I don't think I am going to make it to the meet and greet. I am a bit bummed by that Info. My husband has to work on Wednesday. We are probably going to fly out at 7.45ph on Wednesday from Mass.

Oh that stinks!  But work comes first.  I'm sorry we won't get to meet but who knows maybe we'll meet at the ceremony!

We probably will. Its not that big of a section. Make sure you get a seat on the upper level so you can see.

Oh, I didn't know upper level was better.  Thanks!  Are you very familiar with it?

Invisible - when I went to my first son's graduation they didn't open the top until the bottom section was full. There aren't as many divisions graduating as my first son (13 in his) so they may not even open it depending on how many people are there. I hope to make it to the meet and greet, but since I have only been at my new job for a month, they might not be too willing to let me have 3 days off ...keep your fingers crossed! Guess I could be fashionably late since the 9th is my birthday :)

Better late than never!  I hope you can make it too.  But talk about getting an awesome birthday present!

Yes, I think alot of us got calls yesterday.  My son sounded great, besides having a cold.  Glad you got your call too.
