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."

Comment by Kelly L. on September 2, 2010 at 9:17pm: OMG! I could not sleep a wink all night.. I am so glad they made it! Laron (dad) went to wal-mart yesterday and got a blue candle and we burnt it all night and he wouldn't even put it out to go to work! I love that man! It was in a jar so he put it in a safe place to burn while we went to work. WTG 301/302 and Corinne! I love you!

:) your evil step mom

Comment by michellep-div303-PIR09-10-10 on September 2, 2010 at 9:15pm: Tomorrow is actually Friday and I've heard from more than one mom that their 301/302 kids have reported that CC will be tomorrow - on Friday.

Comment by nicole~a sailors girl(: on September 2, 2010 at 9:12pm: Captians Cup is the Saturday before Graduation, so yes, i believe it is tomorrow.

Comment by StacyTwinSailorMom on September 2, 2010 at 9:09pm: I know I haven't wrote very much but, I wanted to say congratulations to Divisions 301 and 302. Even though I have not written, I read your posts regularly. I am the mom with the twin boys and I am counting the days down just like the rest of you. This is such a proud time and everytime I think about my boys or hear about yours, it makes me cry. I am just so proud of all of them. I just wanted to say that the day my boys left for basic, I had the privilage of meeting a group of young men heading out together at the airport. All of them so scared. One of boys was green (literally) he was leaving behind a new wife and child. I think about all that now and even the fact that my boys at 17 were heading out on their own and having their 18th birthday in basic (which was the 21st of August). As I think about it all I am so very proud of the young men that they have become and how blessed we all are. Thank you all and God Bless!!

Comment by michellep-div303-PIR09-10-10 on September 2, 2010 at 9:05pm: Theresa - I don't know how I'll be able to stand it till Tuesday! Thankfully we'll be very busy getting ready for our trip. But I just can't wait. How many times can I say that between now and then?

Sandra - I'm not sure and if no one on here knows, I would send a message directly to Sobe, Jessica or Diannep as they have been through it already and most of us would just be telling you things we've heard, you know? But if you find out, let us know!

Comment by theresa ship 9 div 303 on September 2, 2010 at 8:50pm: Michelle, i do believe i will be burning my candle at both ends this weekend! Come on Monday & Tuesday & Friday!

Comment by michellep-div303-PIR09-10-10 on September 2, 2010 at 8:42pm: Lucky Thursday prevails! Got a letter from G. He said "We got gassed today, but lucky for me, it didn't affect me as strongly as most." I was glad to read that as he was really dreading that. I do wish he was more detail friendly! Ah well, we made it this far, right?

So do we burn candles for fun this weekend or what? Monday seems awfully far away.

Comment by nicole~a sailors girl(: on September 2, 2010 at 8:29pm: Thanks Iris! I will keep ya'll posted! And I have nada clue. My doctor said it may be too much acid in my stomach causing pains.

Theresa - I sure hope so. I've been trying to make friends with his mom, I don't want to annoy her though, So I've just been sticking with "have a good day" and asking a few questions here and there.

Don't worry Mrs. B, I'm sure he's so excited as well that he'll understand:)

Comment by Ship06Div943PIR092010MomofShane on September 2, 2010 at 8:29pm: Ditto what Mary said! I couldn't have said it better!

LaLa Thank you so very much! You are awesome! I live about an hour from Pcola. It's going to be a fantastic weekend for the weather.

Nicole, I hope you get a good nights sleep and hope you get to see your Sailor !

Hope ya'll have a great evening! It won't be long now! ;)

Comment by Mrs.B_Div 302_Ship9 on September 2, 2010 at 8:20pm: I just realized that I forgot to write my husband today.... I was so anxious to get the phone call that I didn't even think about writing him!!! Gosh, how rude can I get? :( At least he should be calling me tomorrow and I can tell him... I feel terrible!
