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 Marcy ~ Corpsman Mom on August 25, 2010 at 3:13pm: Congratulations Ryan and Diana! There's a good book on Amazon that follows a division through boot camp, and gives you a good idea of what they do day by day. I really enjoyed reading it. It helped me understand what my son would be going through and erased a lot of anxiety. http://www.amazon.com/Honor-Courage-Commitment-Navy-Boot/dp/1557505...

Comment by Sherri (mom of Kirsten) on August 24, 2010 at 3:48pm: Hi Diana, what recruiting station is your son going to?

Comment by Diane1954 on August 6, 2010 at 5:18pm: weimymom: Hang in there. You should have seen my husband when our oldest son left. Since our son wasn't able to call when he got to Great Lakes, my husband was sure he hadn't gotten there until the clothes arrived!!! Don't worry about the letters. They are given mandatory time to do letters once a week. You should start getting them soon. We always looked forward to that once a week letter.

Comment by weimy Ship 06 Div 945 PIR 9/24 on August 6, 2010 at 5:06pm: Hi everyone...I'm new to this site....I'm from Goodyear, AZ. Son just left on 7/27. Still waiting to hear from him. Got the box on Tuesday, but still no letter. Never realized just how hard this was gonna be.

Comment by Diane1954 on July 12, 2010 at 4:26pm: I don't have to worry about the sun. The wedding is in the chapel on base at North Island. The reception is at another location, also indoors. I am looking forward to this & hope it all goes well for my son & his bride.

Comment by Diane1954 on July 8, 2010 at 7:12pm: RoosMama: Congrats for your son! That is really a major accomplishment considering how many do not make it through that training. Your family & he have a right to be proud! Enjoy SD - we are going next weekend for son #1's wedding.

Comment by Connorsmom(Ship11Div300)PIR9/2 on July 7, 2010 at 9:11pm: RoosMama, Congratulations on your son's graduation! I envy you your San Diego fix! I took Connor there last month for a few days to soak up the Navy feeling and the beautiful weather. It was a great trip.

Comment by Sue-Pillowcase lady on June 25, 2010 at 10:21am: my AZ born boy went to boot camp in Feb. his 1st letter home said "it's cold here, BOY is it cold here!" I really had to laugh at that.
