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 tonkamom on January 25, 2010 at 11:09pm: my son just left yesterday. I got a call a little bit ago that he's there & safe. I'm so sad & proud!

Comment by bev (Ship 11 Div 123) on January 25, 2010 at 7:47pm: I got my form letter today but not the box yet. My husband is in Ship 11 Div 123. To momoffour, hope you get your letter tomorrow.

Comment by momoffour(Ship 11 div 119) on January 25, 2010 at 7:43pm: I'm glad you got the letter! I got the box several days ago but no letter yet, still waiting for the address and ship/div, PIR date.

Comment by JD's Mom on January 25, 2010 at 6:44am: Morning everyone! I read in the manual for families that it could take the first couple of weeks for our recruits to get our letters...due to being transferred to another ship. I see some have to get their wisdom teeth out... will probably be the same with my daughter... all 4 will have to go.. no room in her mouth to keep them and she's 3 yrs behind in dental growth. I received the box..but no form letter. I see some have left the same time with a PIR of 3/19... so I'm just going to have to wait for news. First letter to her just keeps growing....hope to receive her address soon!

Comment by hlwolter on January 25, 2010 at 12:43am: Josh's wife the tim frame my husband gave me he started getting my letter on the 11th . Thats when he started writing me i received letters dated thru the 19th. hope that helps.

Comment by MrsS on January 23, 2010 at 11:00pm: I remember in the DEPPER handbook it said that religious metals were permitted. I would just made sure it fit into an envelope! A school something like that would probably be ok. Thats just my rookie input.

Comment by momoffour(Ship 11 div 119) on January 23, 2010 at 7:38pm: Oh boy, my son had nooo clue that he would have to have them out!! I cannot wait to hear how he tells the story of finding out haha! The mom in me also feels sad that I'm not there to take care of him!

Comment by momoffour(Ship 11 div 119) on January 23, 2010 at 2:03pm: I have a question! I have been coming across alot of mom talking about their kids having their wisdom teeth taken out. Is this something they automatically do if they have not have them out, or only if there is a problem?

Comment by lovestofly(ship11div116) on January 22, 2010 at 7:03pm: Navy diver wife ship04 div805, I bet that made you happy getting 4 letters from your hubby. Sorry to hear about his allergic reaction. I hope he is okay.
