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."

Has anybody from 02/922 heard a specific date from your SR?  The list sent out doesn't specify for our div.  Please message me if you know.  I am dieing to find out.

6 days.. Ugh, cant wait........

I just started a discussion in the 4/6 group looking for pictures from their PIR.  Hoping we will get glimpses of our loved ones.

Ok great... Thank you..... 6 days!!!
Very busy getting packed, we leave Wed. Am for our 14 he drive, will be my favorite Road Trip... Happy Easter To All.

I'm laughing because I finally made the connection.  I saw you on facebook mention your SR was chorus and asked you to send a friend request.  We've been communicating on here all along and I thought I'd found somebody new!  Then I noticed the name on here and made the connection.

Yes, actually just got off the phone with my SR........ Said Captains Cup was fun... And they were all enjoying some whatever time!!!! I was so HAPPY and shocked when I saw the # (worried) also, but was a "Whats Up, Mom?" Call!!!!!!!! Sounded great!! Getting ready for BS... 6 days and. I can see you!! Love that boy...

922 did not win Captains Cup but they still got to go to Recruit Heaven and I got to talk to my SR for about 45 minutes.  I held it together until we got off the phone!!!  Have a definite date for BS21 now.  It is the second day we were discussing, not the first.

Got to talk to my SR for about an hour today.  It was wonderful!  She doesn't start A School until a week or so after PIR so she doesn't know if she will be held at Great Lakes a little longer or fly to San Antonio after graduation.  She said she will find out mid-week.  She is excited about BS but a little nervous too.  She was thrilled to get to eat Subway today and she was enjoying a Butterfingers Bar while we talked.  Funny how we miss the little things in life!   Friday cannot get here fast enough to suit me.  

So happy for you ML, can't wait 2 days headed for my boy (SR ) (Man).. Will always be my little boy!!! Miss him so much, tears every two seconds!!! Ugh... Can't see!_! Just need Friday to get here.

This week is going to seem l-o-n-g.  I told my SR that I was going to have to go to A School with her.  Ha!Ha!

It's going to be hard saying hello and they good-by again so soon, but at least we will get to message and phone.  I'm looking forward to meeting all of you guys that have helped me keep my sanity for these last 8 weeks.  I don't know what I would have done without you!
