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 mother always on January 2, 2010 at 11:59am: Yes it is,I almost make the mistake of buying a jacket;then I called this neighbor that she was raised in the US and she clarified that a jacket was to go to a baseball game,that I needed a long heavy coat...thank God I asked!!!

Comment by mother always on January 2, 2010 at 11:47am: Good morning
I just went to the cleaners to get my coat for the trip....

Comment by Cindy D on January 1, 2010 at 5:20pm: micsportmom - Thank you for the info on Chicago. We have not decided what to do yet, we were going to leave it up to our son when we get there but it is good to have suggestions! Thank You:)

Comment by Margaret_ProudTexasMomof2Sailors on December 31, 2009 at 10:40pm: micsportmom, It might have been me that mentioned about the pictures. I know I have posted it somewhere, but as for the pictures, I forgo when they are taken, but package A has more for the money. My son still has pictures to share. His dad got some and I have one at home and one at school.
The recruits order them and the fee is taken out of their pay check. They get them in time for PIR. I think you can order more after PIR. I didn't, but I saw a ot of parents in the area.

Comment by mother always on December 31, 2009 at 6:36pm: Dear Carrie
You are not the only one in that situation,with those feelings,I received a letter and call from my son on dec 10...since then SILENCE...I hope he is well,he knows I miss him....

Comment by Cindy D on December 31, 2009 at 6:00pm: Dawn - congrats on the I'm a Sailor call! I am in tears just thinking about it. I can't wait till Jan 13 for mine!

Comment by Cindy D on December 31, 2009 at 3:03pm: I can't wait until the Jan 13th call saying "I AM A SAILOR" I would guess that this call comes in the morning right?
I love the poems!
Happy New Year

Comment by mother always on December 31, 2009 at 2:52pm: I am sorry to read about sick recruits,I am and will be praying for all.

Comment by Cindy D on December 31, 2009 at 2:45pm: I just received a call from my son. He sounded tired but good. He has had a cold but is doing ok. He said that BS is on Jan 12. And he is looking forward to it. He is not worried at all and the gas chamber is next week. Yuck!
