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 laurelbc 11/180 on April 22, 2011 at 8:01pm: Moms, Wives and Family of 11/180. Please post on the RTC Facebook page too. I started a new discussion for 11/180. RTC tells the recruits how many posts we have in a discussion and they cheer! Let's do that for our SR's too. Other ships/divisions some discussions are started. They do not get updates on Navy 4 Moms except from us and I know they would love the feedback that WE HAVE SPIRIT in 11/180.

Comment by NavyMomSue (Ship11 Div 184) on April 22, 2011 at 2:37pm: JessicaB,

Thank you so much for the GPS addy!!

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on April 22, 2011 at 9:10am: mommacindy- I got a message from you about wanting to order PIR ribbons but it wouldn't let me reply to it. I sent you a friend request on here so just send me a message when accept my friend request and I will send you all the info for placing an order. Thanks :-)

Comment by diannep on April 22, 2011 at 7:53am: ProudNavyMom: When my sailor was in bc, I remember sitting in church, on the end of the row (even though the ushers kept trying to get me to MOVE OVER so others could get in...I wouldn't give up that aisle seat)...with my phone on vibrate, in my hands in front of me...ready to JUMP for the door if/when he called. Thankfully, he never called while I was at church, but I was ready! :-)

Comment by PNM #2 (Proud NaVy Mom-2nd SR) on April 22, 2011 at 1:25am: 1fireteamwife - I can't imagine why anyone wouldn't understand you answering a phone call from someone who is so important to you regardless of WHAT you were doing. I doesn't matter where I am or what I am doing, I have warned everyone I know that if the phone rings and I go running around looking for a quiet place DON'T BOTHER ME cause it's my SR. I even told my boss at work that if my son calls, I'm taking it and talking as long as the RTC/RDC will allow!!! It would just really be nice if it didn't happen in church...

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on April 22, 2011 at 12:25am: I think I will send my SR a SASE with a note asking to write down the names of the SR who would like to receive mail, but are not.

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on April 21, 2011 at 11:42pm: Clockard Thank You!

ria5; OMG; joankf; Luvn my Navy son; Proud NaVy Mom; D for Megan - Yeah for all of you getting mail!

Proud NaVy Mom - Ditto on all of your comments about your sons letter. Especially about "structure" and "family". "Brothers" as your SR says. Woo-Hoo on the phone call tomorrow! I hear you about not missing calls! When my hubby calls (and now my SR!) everything gets dropped! Let's see...I've missed Bible study, had to hand over to an assisitant while I was administering SAT's to 2nd graders and probably a few others! Once I spent an entire trip at the dentist for my other two boys on the phone with him! The dentist came out to talk to me about how everything went! (They were very nice about it.) Hey, the man walked through a sandstorm in full gear to call me! The USO was empty because of the conditions, so we had lots of time to talk! Not going to waste it.

I feel so rude sometimes. If I can, I try mention beforehand why I might suddenly run out of the room!

Comment by Luvn_my_Navy_son(ship 11/div184) on April 21, 2011 at 10:57pm: D for Megan- Thank you :) He loves exercising so that might be a good job for him to have at BC.
