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 proudmom on February 27, 2012 at 7:08pm: momof4 Ship03 Div117 yes my son is also going to Pensacola. He said all the videos he watch lied, screaming is now the normal tone. My son was always 2 showers a day as well but he didn't say anything about that, I'm sure that was interesting..LOL

Comment by momof4 on February 27, 2012 at 12:12pm: Proudmom - Had to laugh because she spoke rather crudely about her body odor (One who has been known to take 2 a day) She did say that the first few days were rough but they were starting to get a few laughs in now. She wants photos.....must be the most common request. Upload some to the Walmart website and now they are experiencing high volume. I want to get these in the mail.

Is your son going to Pensacola? My daughter will be. She is an aviation machinist mate.

Going to fight that site again.Want to mail these letters. Have a great day!

Comment by LindaA AM Mom on February 27, 2012 at 9:58am: I sent letters from "the cat" to my son at boot camp, A school,, C school and during his entire 7 month deployment ... they live for mail call (it was easy because there are so many cute "cat cards" out there --- wait until you start to receive the written letters -- so special. I had not received a letter like those since he went to camp.... there's just something so special about the written word ... to see their hand writing ... especially in this day of texting .... I'm so glad the Navy makes them write home!

Comment by proudmom on February 26, 2012 at 10:03pm: momof4 Ship03 Div117 yes I got my letter yesterday, he addressed it to the dog, so he still has his sense of humor.LOL. It just made my day especially to know he is doing ok!

Comment by momof4 on February 26, 2012 at 9:40pm: Proudmom - We got the form letter on Thursday. Did you get yours yet? She left on the 14th.

Comment by flgirltwo on February 25, 2012 at 2:37pm: Any moms from Central Florida that have kids going to BC in March? My son goes on March 21. Going up to watch swear in - will be glad to take photos if anyone needs them taken that day! Would be glad to know other area moms too!
