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."

Thank you MOMs of the 087 you are GREAT!!!!!  HOOYAH!!! 087

Did you know we talk more on our site then most of the others on new moms. I think there is one more div that talks more then us!!!

Good call Little Turtle--it's too late in the game for trouble.  Smooth sailing for our boys now  (I pray)...He will be so grateful to you when he "sees" you!! 

I just want to go to sleep now and wake to a Friday where we get to hear their lovely voices:) I'm not asking for too much, right?

Love it! (The prayer, but the talking a lot is good too:)

Rumor has it 87/88 did BS last night!!  I pray they are right...keep those phones close this afternoon ladies.  This is going to be such a long day - UGH!!

I am waiting!  I've got my phone in my pocket and I am ready to go.  Today I am having my class make pictures to congratulate our new sailors!  I will send them out today since it is the last day we should send any mail, according to other sites. 

I just can't stop smiling!

Pray for Minor today she is having a rough morning. Going to the dr. satan is trying to take our joy out of this. In the name of JESUS get behind us satan. Lord help our loving friend Paula, touch her body and make her whole. Amen

went the calls starts please post!!!  GOD BLESS US ALL!!!

Lots of prayers today...Minor and our SRs will make it through this and we will be celebrating with all of them soon. 

Little Turtle, do you have my cell phone number in case you hear something from Paula and I don't? I think I may have e-mailed it to you a couple of weeks ago.

Robin I thought I did BUT I can't find it.  Send me a text 931-265-8426 and I'll save it!!! Sorry!! Also if anyone else wants my number here it is!!

Our prayers worked.  Paula's just stressed (I wonder why)!!

Now let the phones start ringing this afternoon and we can stop stressing LOL 

Awesome prayer Lorna!  Amen!!!

Paula just text is was stress!!!!! God is sooooo good to us all!!! God has everything in his hand if we let him. Sometimes it is hard to let him.

Well you all need to relax! We got our call around 3:00pm.  He talked to his dad and then called me on my way home.  I walked the kids out to the bus and went straight to my car.  I wasn't even in my car more than a minute when he called.  Everyone that went into BS21 passed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HOOYAH!!!!!!!!!!

I only got to talk for 8 minutes, but it was so awesome.  He talked to his dad for 40 minutes, ran out of minutes and went and got a new card.  It is a great day!
