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."

Nothing wrong with it just being you. It's great you can make it. Hope Monica is ok. She has been kind of quite. Yes you can have a video recorder and camera, just no pictures of outside. We need to talk about what we want to do to make our BIG Ship/Div to stand out. LOL I'm sure we all will be dressed nice so to have t-shirts made up wont do. I don't think hats will work either. Maybe tying a scarf on our right wrist so it hands a little could be an idea? I did order for my family ribbons from Lala the ribbon lady. I keep posting on The US Navy Recruit Face Book Page about this form, but no hits. I even visit the form on the FB for our Ship/Div no hits there either. Sad but don't know what else to do.

no worries snow cat i may not be able to bring my two other kids. so i will be most likely riding solo! we have each other haaha

Well...after some serious brainstorming, I may have figured out a way for my daughter's dad to come to PIR as well....still waiting on a call back about that.  She'll be so suprised if this can happen.  As of right now, she thinks he can't make it because of his wife's health/pregnancy issues. Shhh...it's a secret...well, maybe lol.

Woo hoo fingers crossed that her dad can go!

yes it will! a huge proud smile on top of it! :D

Fingers crossed peeps we may have another member joining us!!!! Put you thinking caps on, we need to figure out what we are doing for PIR and if we want to meet before, maybe on Thursday?

fingers toes and eyes crossed lol!

Maybe we can order scraves from Lora aka Layla the Ribbon Queen. Maybe she can do a pink camo scarf  with ship n div on it?

ooooh...that sounds good! with some fuschia

@ sams mom hello and welcome aboard! :)

Not sure if you mean me :)  I am SamsMom but my daughter is in Div 114 Ship 03.  Not to many people responding on that page so i have enjoyed reading your posts! :)   Made my hotel reservations today, staying in Lake Forest at Hilton Garden.  I read where Waugkegan isn't a very safe area and didn't want a car break in or anything!
