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."

Still not cleared

Good Morning! I have not been on here in a while. Our son has been in GL for 8 weeks now. 2 weeks of processing and then week 1 he got sick. We are now in week 8 and he still hasn't been cleared. Ultrasound tomorrow will determine if he will be able to join a division this week. We have only receive 2 phone calls in those 8 weeks. Told us in one letter that the PO's are too lazy to walk the injured a half a mile to make calls to loved ones. Breaks my heart. They need just as much support as the rest of the kids in there. One good thing is he's been studying so he will be ahead of the game once he joins a company. I didn't write him all this week because he thought he may go to a division 2 Friday's ago. Then the guilt of him not receiving a letter makes me sad. Anyhow, just need to ask for prayers that my son gets placed in a division this week. Happy to read about everyone else doing so well. Have a Happy Monday!

Hoping your son gets released to join a division soon. Stay positive and get those letters in the mail. Even a card of encouragement

Prayers for a full recovery for him so that he can begin training soon and be well enough to make it through to PIR with no more bumps in the road and for you to stay strong as you wait for news. You can't change the past, so don't worry about what you did or didn't do, just send letters from now on.

Thank you for all your prayers! We received a call at 5:30 our time stating he was back in a division! He sounds good and I told him to go kick some @$$. We can officially join a group again. I hope the next 8 weeks, flies by!
