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."

My fiance is in class 14-10. I got to talk to him for about 5 minutes last night and he's already lost his voice! They have to yell everything at the top of their lungs! I'm in the Navy also and I'm so used to being the one who leaves! I'm the one who has to tell everyone else not to worry, so its really weird being on the other side of it!

David passed! 30-minute phone call at 6pm this evening. So great to finally hear from him after 3 long weeks!
Moving into academics phase now....more privileges and phone calls! So proud of all our LO's!! :)
Great news that you are starting to receive phone calls, they are such a blessing. Congratulations to those who have heard their LO's passed RLP, first evolution down, on the the next.
Hi Vonne...that is so wonderful you heard from your LO. I hope we hear something soon. Got another letter, but it would be nice to hear a voice.
Do you know if they would call on Sunday between a certain time? I don't want to get too far from the phone.
Heard it was EARLY!! like 530/6
seriously??
I've read in other posts that some got calls early on Sunday morning since they secure the phones at 9pm (21:00). I am keeping you in my prayers that you will hear from her soon!! :)
I read in one post that calls were made from 1:00 - 4:00pm. But I've read a lot of different opinions in posts. Thanks so much and I hope we hear from her also. I don't care how early or how late it is, I just want to hear from her!
jlees, just keep your phone close by. It will most likely be in the afternoon or early evening. They have an axam on Monday, so they might be busy studying too.
When James called while i was at work (i snuck off to the bathroom to answer his call) he said that phone calls would be made in the Afternoon and Early evening starting at either 1300 or 1400 and go until either 1900 or 2100. He said he wasn't sure on that he says it's AT LEAST 1900 for the lastet. Hope that helps clears some things up! :)
Ashley passed also! Just had a long phone call. Such relief; on to the next phase.
Good for her!!! That's great. I will keep my phone close. Hey she might call yet tonight!!
