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."

hello, we got a phone call also very short. Luckily his wife was here when he called.
She said he sounded good. He said to keep writing, so we are! I'm glad you got a call.
Hopefully the next one will be longer.

I have not gotten a letter yet. I was also hoping for an Easter phone call. I am glad that you received a letter. I am hoping to get one soon. It's hard to hear that he was having
a tough time. Even though we expect it to be hard. Thanks for answering me.:)

My son is also on ship 12 Div. 184. I was wondering if you have received any mail from
your recruit?

Hi old mom. My son is also on ship 12 div 184 and I miss him so much. I just accepted your friend request and it will be nice to talk to you.

My Son is on ship 12 div184, the first couple of weeks are the hardest, but they will make it through. My Daughter is on her 7th week and gave her brother a heads up before he went. The first letters will come about week 4 and the first phone call at week 5 or 6 for about 15-20 minutes. Waiting for this, is really hard on family but, the time goes by really fast. Hang in there guys.

Hello old Mom. My Son is in Div 184 and the wisdom teeth done at BC stinks. I'm now worried about him. I miss him but wasnt worried until now. The method sounds well just not how I pictured it. I look forward to meeting you at graduation. My Sailor is 20 and i think having a 32 year old in the group will be great!

My son is divorced about 1 year ago. He joined the Navy to try to get his life together. He is looking forward to it, but I think is starting to get alittle nervous. Understandably. thanks for the response. I really enjoyed looking over this web site it already has been a huge help for me. I will look into some of the other sites sent. thanks
