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."

We all miss our sons or husbands.  We will make to January 20 together.

 

Hope you all get your letters today!

I received TWO letters from my son!!!!

Whoot! Whoot! I knew you would, well not two, I'm jealous....I better go check to see if I have another one...LOL

Didn't have another one...Maybe tomorrow or maybe he is sick of writing in all caps so neatly...LOL

After receiving 2 letters from my son, at first I was happy...after reading the first one, I thought ok he's homesick, he wrote the letter on Thanksgiving. The second one, I could hold it anymore...he sounded sad, miserable, cold, like he said in his letter..."I can't really explain bootcamp in words...it's cold. There is no comfort in anything. It's tough to even dream since the outside world seems so distant." It broke my heart. Our kids are in a breakdown phase so they can build them up as a team. I hope on the next letter, it's better.

Awwwww Cristina....Hang in there and know he is the strong young man you raised....

Yes...I know...it will be better next week for sure.

Just think, they are about to begin week two! PIR here we come....

Samantha, they are on week two based on my SR's letter and how he described it. So now it makes sense, why he was so depressed on his last letter.

See this link....http://www.navydep.com/forums/showthread.php?t=433 Especially the first section about P days and P hold days....But, who knows....Next letter :)
