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."

Hi All - I got a letter today.  My son says they started with 89 and they are down to 84 - he wrote on Saturday and they were on 2-1 day.  My son says his bunkmate is from New Jersey and a great guy - I have his name so if anyone has a son with the initials MA from New Jersey - send me a message.  My son said they get mail when they are quiet, which is rare  :)  Soooo happy to hear they are all doing fine.

Yeah congrats

It was great getting a letter wasn't it???  My Chrsitmas present!!!    Mary Clare

I got a letter today as well! It made me feel so much better knowing how he is doing. Now if I can hear his voice it will top off Christmas very well!

It's Friday, 23 December 2011 and I got the form letter with a note from my SR TODAY!!!!! YES!  Merry Christmas to me!  I am sooooo happy.  I can't wait for February 3rd to get here to see my kid graduate!  Looking forward to meeting all of you there.  

Finally got my letter! He wrote me 10 pages! Apparently their div isn't quite/good at all!lol My SR said they had to do 5 hours of punishment excercise one day! He even told me that the started passing out mail and then took it back up because they weren't doing as they were told. But over all, everything is going great and the days just drag by and it's super cold (Especially for a Georgia boy.lol)

Wow, I hope things are not to bad. My son gave me a different impression. I am sure that by now since the date of their letters that they are getting into the swing of things and coming together as a team. I am sure they all had a bit of adjustment to do and will realize that it is better to do good than bad. I hope and pray they are all doing good and hope they can somewhat enjoy the holiday!

I am so upset they are still not getting the fact behave stay quiet...hello its affecting me....lol
Any calls yet?

No calls yet - I was pretty bummed out yesterday.  I just booked my hotel too!

No call either. I was hoping being his birthday! Should I start making arrangements now for flight, hotel...or is there time still?
