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."

Is that just a nick name for the drug?

they call it PB shot because it's so thick it's like you got a ball of peanut butter shot into your bum

they have to sit on the floor and roll their bum to disperse it

Ladies, I looked at the 14 day weather report and the Wednesday and Thursday before graduation look like they will be clear days for driving and flying into Chicago, Milwaukee or Midway. However it shows snow with a high of 55 on graduation day. The clear days show being colder than Friday, a little confusing for an Arizona girl like me where we don't get snow.

I have been receiving a good amount of letters now... it was slow at forst , but it seems once he stopped putting them in the envelope marked RTC ... and putting them in the plain white envelopes ... they came faster..??? He sounds very upbeat and excited and eager to see us! Today is a great day! Positive energy flowing ... Look at how far our SR's have come ! I am a Proud Navy Mom! 

Keeping my fingers crossed that it stays clear skies in Milwaukee.  We have a lay over there on Thursday.   We are flying in from Boise so I'm not too worried about our flight from here.

I am flying in Milwaukee instead of O'Haire. I am flying southwest and they didn't fly into O'Haire. Anyways Milwaukee is only 19 miles further to Great Lakes Training Center than Chicago is.

Ok ladies, tell me knowing today is final pfa day, if we haven't heard anything at this point is no news good news or what is your thoughts? I am trying to be calm, but I don't know how effective that is working for me.

We're all good Navy Mom.  Remember POSITIVE THOUGHTS!   They have all passed and will be ready for Battle Stations next week. 

Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.  Phil. 4:6

Have faith!

Wow, that was so beautiful, thank you for centering me with that scripture.

 

Thanks you

I've seen decorative ribbons and scarfs that people will wear to indicate the ship and division our kids/family are in.  Any suggestions for what to wear and what colors? 

Proudmom: I sent a matching fleece scarf to the other moms so we could be matching and show unity. private message me your first and last name and address and I will get one mailed out to you tomorrow.

I'm a little confused how do we private message?  Is it on my page or do I do it from here?
