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 PNM #2 (Proud NaVy Mom-2nd SR) on May 4, 2011 at 6:43pm: Congratulations to all who received letters today! For us poor people down in the South, we don't get our letters til Thursday. I'll take them whatever day they come in! Div 928; hope we get a call tomorrow!!!!! Keep your fingers crossed!

Comment by Virginia (Ship 2 - Div. 928) on May 4, 2011 at 5:36pm: Postman was good to me today: THREE LETTERS! Ahhhh!

Comment by MommaCindy(Ship 11 Div 180) on May 4, 2011 at 5:28pm: Oh, I also asked him where he is lined up for PIR and he drew a diagram. I know exactly where to look for him now. .

Comment by MommaCindy(Ship 11 Div 180) on May 4, 2011 at 5:27pm: OMG, no I haven't seen the t-shirt but I want one!!! I figure for as early as we will be geting up to be with our SR we wouldn't eat breakfast anyways. We want to spend as much time with them as possible. I got 3 letters today with 2 of the questionnaires in them. His replys to some of the answers are better than the ones on the questionairres. He really made them quite funny. He said he thought bootcamp would drag and he is surpised how fast it has gone by. Busy, Busy. He said that some of the SRs do not write everyday so he gets to send extra letters, but somedays he doesn't send any and lets the others send extra. HMMM, what happened to my son? TEAMWORK!!!

Comment by OMG hes a Sailor (div180) on May 4, 2011 at 3:53pm: I will save a total of $140 staying at the Red Carpet instead of the Ramada....you think that is worth it. The free hot breakfast would be nice but I can take it or leave it I like lunch and supper much better..LOL I can skip breakfast...coffee and a donut is good for me!

Comment by OMG hes a Sailor (div180) on May 4, 2011 at 3:31pm: Mommacindy have you seen the t-shirt that says "dont mess with me, I raised a sailor and I sleep with a biker!" LOL

Comment by texasmom Ship 11 Div 179 on May 4, 2011 at 3:31pm: I only asked the question on this group

Comment by OMG hes a Sailor (div180) on May 4, 2011 at 3:30pm: mammacindy..i feel the same way..i think.. I havn't been to many trips staying in hotels..we will not have the little kids so it isnt like we need much room. I think I will go with the Red carpet inn sence it the new reviews from people that have stayed there in the last few weeks have been good. This is only the 3rd time I have changed reservations....i am just not good at makeing decisions...
