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 just wish I would get a call from mine. lol 

Hey all! Just wanted to make sure the Gold scarf was alright with everyone. Also, if you want to add a navy blue ribbon to your scarf to support our brother division 053 - you can do that. Thats my plan anyways. Feel free do what you want. :) 

26 days!! :) <3 

Tickets bought, Room reserved - just waiting for the "I am a Sailor" call.  Our SRs should be in week 5 next week.  Can't wait to see them ALL.  So VERY PROUD of them!!!

wahoo!!!! So so so so so close! i'm very proud as well!!!! <3 26! 

Trisha,
Gold scarf with a blue ribbon sounds good to me! I am so excited. Got to talk with Patrick about two hours ago. I guess he got 100% on all his inspections and earned the right to call!!!! YAY! He sounded SO good! Can't wait to see him in 26 days!!
Not long now!
See you soon!
Tracey

I'm glad you got a call Tracey!! :) 

I was hoping for one, but I'm not sure if I'll get one or not. :(  I didn't even get a letter this week. I'm feeling rather down today...
His grandma got a letter, as did one of his buddies, they said they were dated 1-1-12, so Im thinking my mail is just slow? I mean, he always writes me.

Yeah, i think I read about your call on the RTC FB page. :) and yes, 26 days, its almost over :)  

Tracey, I got a call from my son to and he sounds so good too. He also got 100% on all his inspections. Makes you feel so good doesn't it? 25 days and counting down. Did we all decide on golden-rod scarf with Navy Blue trim? Did you get yours at a certain place, if so where? I will get one for my son's girlyfriend and myself... Thank you and I am still excited from our call on Saturday... Hope to meet you at graduation! Loni
