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 LittleMissRed on November 7, 2012 at 9:29am: Do not worry. This is usual. No news is good news. He possibly didn't have time, they litterally get like thirty seconds for it. but please don't worry.

Comment by LittleMissRed on November 3, 2012 at 10:54am: Just remember the first month is the hardest for both of you. I'm on week five but his first three letters were so depressing that I cried instead of feeling happy. We have to stay string and let them know we are here for them and support them.

Comment by bittersweet914 on November 3, 2012 at 7:32am: My boyfriend box came earlier this week that was very exciting and he called me on Thursady and it was the best 19 second called I could have ever asked for, his words were.... "I just want to let you no that I love you more than ever right now and Im okay, you will be recieving a letter in a few weeks from me, ok gotta go, bye" Those words said it all!

Comment by Jennifer on November 2, 2012 at 7:19pm: Hey ladies, I have a question for any of you who've already been through the boot camp stages more specifically, any of you who've had a boyfriend stay in Great Lakes for ATT or A school. I understand that after PIR, he will have to move his things over to his A school, and then he'll be able to have liberty. My concern is, on Saturday his dad is leaving, and I've heard you have to sign them out for liberty, so can a girlfriend sign them out for PIR weekend?? I know that when he's in the early stages of A school that only a spouse or immediate family member can sign them out/in, but I was wondering if the same rule applies for PIR weekend...?

Comment by bittersweet914 on October 24, 2012 at 9:34pm: Just got home from dropping my boyfriend off at the hotel for tonight. Cant wait to see him swear in the morning. This is sooo bittersweet, I miss him already

Comment by LittleMissRed on October 23, 2012 at 3:07pm: Hi everyone! My boy went in Oct 2nd. I have only gotten one letter from him!
