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."

Wow barbydahlzz, that a long time.  This is my SRs second division as well.  He left Dec 13. Praying he gets his swim down and finishes in a timely fashion!

when did he go back to this div?? my sr said he went in with 2 other guys from rcu..

Two weeks ago.  He wasn't in RCU but had trouble with the prone float part of the swim test.

ahh ok

Hey yall thanks for all the well wishes...He's going to A school in Groton, Ct he's going for submarine computer electronic technician:) Im so very proud of him...<Just had to throw that in there lol. Im not sure when we'll be getting married. The original plan was to wait until he got to A school and i'd fly up to meet him but then he heard and decided that he wants to get married sooner than that and gave me "orders" to get the rings lol and they came in yesterday and are gorgeous but mine is a little bit big but i'll just get a ring guard for that:) His A school is a year or so long (he was told) and if i could would love to be there with him! I got a room at the Days Inn in Great Lake....is anyone staying there??

OK, I know this is off subject but in less than 1/2 hour I will be the proud Auntie of my new little Nephew!!!  I'm so excited!  Can't wait to tell my SR....he absolutely adores kids!!

Congrats kimmic!  Praying that Mom and the bundle of joy come thru with flying colors!

He's here!!!  8lbs, 8 oz!!!  He's beautiful...Well, actually he's kinda squishy looking but I think he is PERFECT!!!
