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."

sorry to hear this KrevonsMom. He will do great!! Keep giving him words of encouragement to help him get through!!

KrevonsMom, I'm sorry to hear of your SR's change. I know how hard you're taking it and can only imagine how hard it is for your son. But if I have learned one thing in this whole BC experience, it's that things happen for a reason. You'll both be that much stronger. I just wish strength didn't come at such a high price. Best wishes to you both, you're in my prayers.

I finally received a phone call today!!  Was just so happy yo hear his voice and can't believe that I can hardly remember what he said. Other than Div 284 is doing great!!!  Next phone call should come next Friday!!!

Hey all Div 284!!  Our Division is doing great!!! They had zero safety violations on the Marlin Spike and then had time left!! It sounds like our division is  better than the brother Division.  My Recruit says his friends are Martin, Dorsey, Fuller and Holden.  Anyone know any of these?

Can' believe it's 13 days till PIR! Got another letter yesterday. It was damaged,so we couldn't read all of it. Sound like they are doing well. I guess we can take their cell phones and laptops and ipods to airport and give them to them when they're on their way to A school

 i changed my name from cryburl. 11 days!!!!!!Anyone going to Pensacola for A school as AD?

At least we'll miss this hurricane!

I went to download gate pass for PIR,not ready! Maybe tommorrow!

Printed the gate pass!

Anyone there?Hello! 9 days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Has anyone heard if they've completed battlestations? Or is it tonight?

Hello,

My husband will be graduating on friday :) and will be going to aschool in pensacola for AD.

Do you know how long the schooling will be for? I want to go but don't know when it starts or anything.

My SR's letter yesterday said their Battle Station is Friday and Saturday this week. He also said they are doing really well as a division
