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."

He said there is like 20 different churches...I did not know that eather.He said it is a different preacher every week and they have all been good. He said he has 2 close friends that are "CS" also, but he said one will be Sub. He said the peanut butter shot was not that bad.

Comment by Luvn_my_Navy_son(ship 11/div184) on May 5, 2011 at 1:56pm: ProudNaVyMom- Love It :)

Comment by PNM #2 (Proud NaVy Mom-2nd SR) on May 5, 2011 at 1:32pm: I found this on Cafe Press. I hope it doesn't offend anyone. I thought it was funny.

Comment by Cait a sailors girl! on May 5, 2011 at 12:39am: Hi sonia. First of all Welcome! I have gotten two calls as well but i have gotten 18 letters so far. My SR is lucky and is in a Division that is kind of lenient (he also writes when he is not supposed to like after lights out) But it all depends on the division he is in. Im guessing your SR's division is a bit stricter then others. But dont worry im sure you will get more letters soon!

Comment by Virginia (Ship 2 - Div. 928) on May 4, 2011 at 11:39pm: LOL! You folks down south also don't get snow in May like those of us up here in SoDak!

Sonja - I've gotten two phone calls (we'll three... husband had to call to confirm a bunch of information for some paperwork like a week in). The other two were the same as the other SRs in his div. I get about one or so a week.

Comment by Sonia 02/928 on May 4, 2011 at 11:12pm: hi my name is sonia i have only received one letter and 2 phone calls... anybody else ?

Comment by HisSailor(Ship02/Div928) on May 4, 2011 at 10:51pm: When I talked to my SR on Sunday, he said if they do really good with Hell Week then there is a possibility that they could get phone calls!

Virginia- I emailed you lol

Comment by Virginia (Ship 2 - Div. 928) on May 4, 2011 at 10:46pm: I missed this news about a call! 928 might get to give us a ring tomorrow? Where'd ya'll here this?!? AHH!
