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 AlishaNicole SHP11DIV54 on December 13, 2010 at 4:03pm: fingers and toes crossed!

Comment by AlishaNicole SHP11DIV54 on December 13, 2010 at 4:01pm: What do they do in holding days? So, maybe they just wrote their letters yesterday for the 1st time in ship 11, and will go out today?

Comment by SANDY ship07div056 on December 13, 2010 at 4:01pm: Oh Penny! I would have called my sons recruiters every day and talked his ears off. I would be a Psycho Mom I'm sure. I keep telling myself, its like boy scout camp, in the woods by himself with a knife, survival skills badge or its like football camp, puking in 100 degree weather, from all the conditioning & training. I know my boy wants me to leave him alone and be a man. But I cant. So he will just have to deal with it. I went to Boy Scouts till they told me I couldnt go anymore. Scout Master told me at some point Moms cant go and boys dont always want their Moms running around taking care of them. Yea..whatever, he's mine until I say otherwise!!

Comment by Kac46047 on December 13, 2010 at 4:00pm: lol there are certainly lots of different stories around, my letters were written dec 6 and 7 so he was definitly out of processing already and was swimming and running. i can't see other divisions being behind if they got there the same day. its just odd. he left the 23rd too. but hey this is the 3rd week if they wrote on sunday we will all be getting letters wed through saterday plus maybe a phone call then everyones minds will be at ease =]. hang in there

Comment by Denise on December 13, 2010 at 3:55pm: LOL...my son and Sandy's son flew out of Columbia together! Makes no sense...guess I'm just getting frustrated. Something has got to happen soon! Maybe tomorrow...optimism...optimism...optimism!

Comment by Denise on December 13, 2010 at 3:53pm: My son who left on 11/23, wrote in the comments of his form letter dated 12/01/10: "We JUST started P-days - we were in holding days - training will officially start 12/8/10." This was the same letter that had PIR 1/28/10 scratched out and overwritten with 1/21/10.

Comment by Penny_Nuke_MM2_NimitzNuke on December 13, 2010 at 3:46pm: Sandy, we have absolutely no clue about anything as we haven't gotten any mail or a phone call. All we know, according to PAO is that they are scheduled for 1/28/11 PIR. Other than that, we don't even know if they are participating in boot camp other than receiving their civvies and the form letter (with the WRONG date on it as they were instructed to write). So, since we now have their clothes, they MUST have our kids, right? Driving us all about to the brink of nutsoism.

Comment by SANDY ship07div056 on December 13, 2010 at 3:46pm: Getting excited! Airline tickets purchased, room and car rented! I'm ready to go!! Whaaatt??!! 45 more days??? ........ feels like forever. Tomorrow makes 21 days he's been gone. If we learn anything from this, its patients. Sux, I know!

Comment by Kac46047 on December 13, 2010 at 3:46pm: my guy never said anything about being in pdays for a while. he did say they were on holiday routine but were still learning things.
