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 abbi'smom on April 4, 2014 at 8:04pm: Finally received my daughters form letter on Thursday! She is ship 09 dive 179...unfortunately I don't know anyone that maybe in this division with her. I have not received any phone calls from her...so I am assuming that no new is good news! I put a letter in the mail this morning and I hope to hear from her soon!

Comment by abbi'smom on April 1, 2014 at 6:13pm: Anxiously awaiting my form letter :( I recevied her box but really waiting to get the address and find out when PIR is scheduled for. Miss her sooo much!!!

Comment by Tuttismimi Ship 11 Div 154 on March 25, 2014 at 2:10pm: Abbi'mom, my daughter left by herself from OH on May 4th. She is doing great. It is tough especially when you are waiting for your first call. Just keep that phone by you at all times. They call so randomly and it would break your heart to miss a call. It is a crazy ride, but fun to share with all the moms on here. Welcome!

Comment by abbi'smom on March 25, 2014 at 1:41pm: My daughter just left today for the Navy...she is currently at BWI airport and she is the only female shipping today. I don't really know anyone that has another daughter from PA that was leaving today. It was tough watching the bus leave and waving good bye.

Comment by blm on February 25, 2014 at 7:03pm: cat-good luck to you and your daughter-it will be a journey!. My daughter left for bootcamp two years ago on Thursday and is now station out of Japan. Miss her terribly, but so proud.

Comment by Cat on February 25, 2014 at 3:34pm: I just printed and sent this to my SR daughter!

Couldn't be prouder! =0)

Comment by proud mom of Kayla on January 30, 2014 at 10:17pm: My daughter is in "a" school in Pensacola for IT. She has been there since the first of December.

Comment by MachelMMmom on January 28, 2014 at 3:59pm: Cat, Congratulations to your SR!!!! How exciting for her and you,

Comment by Cat on January 28, 2014 at 1:24pm: My future sailor is now officially a SR! She just swore in at MEPS and waiting for the bus to take them to Chicago.... She is so glad that they are bussing in instead of flying because now she will now be able to get about 5 hours of sleep. Instead of the none on the 45 min flight.
