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 diannep on January 23, 2012 at 3:39pm: That first letter/phone call does the trick! Well, usually! Now, seriously, it is a big relief to finally hear from them, even though you know they are safe and secure where they are....but you just need to see that handwriting or hear that voice! We all understand that. Shouldn't be too long before that happens for this group!

ColoradoMom: Thanks for posting the link so that harpist mom can find her group!

Comment by Jamie SHIP13 DIV 067 on January 23, 2012 at 3:21pm: A letter would be amazing. I have had my phone attached to me all weekend hoping for a call. No luck. The good thing is I am learning patience. Something i dont have much of LOL.

Comment by Dawson'sChefMom on January 23, 2012 at 3:13pm: @Jamie...yes we did. Friday cried. Cried last night watching Downton Abbey. Today I feel like a zombie. Just walking around dazed and confused. This too shall pass. I know the cure will be a letter!

Comment by barbsz (ship 07 div 079) on January 23, 2012 at 3:01pm: I think so too Jamie. Hope you feel better! I'm around all day if anyone needs to talk! =)

Comment by Jamie SHIP13 DIV 067 on January 23, 2012 at 2:56pm: I also had a few breakdowns this weekend. I was doing fine and then out the blue... I feel like a crazy person not able to control my emotions. I think we all had this type of weekend.

Comment by Sarah's mom. Ship 07 DIV 077 on January 23, 2012 at 1:53pm: I am having one of those sad days. Miss my daughter...

Comment by Jess' Proud Mom on January 23, 2012 at 12:54pm: Just got back from Colorado (my home state). We took my grandmother to get her cancer shots and to visit her oncologist. So I got to go home. Grandma doesn't have internet and WiFi doesn't exist on the farm. LOL!!

But I am back. I still haven't received a letter from my SR and I am writing him everyday. Sometimes twice.

I am hoping everyone has a great day!!

Comment by ColoradoMom Nuke ET on January 23, 2012 at 12:37pm: @ harpist mom - Did you know the 03/09 PIR group is formed now?

Comment by harpist mom on January 23, 2012 at 9:40am: Me too! My son left for boot camp from Houston on 1/10, and I have not received any letters yet - I know it is too early. Even though he will probably not be in the 3/2 PIR group, one of my "Navy Mom" friends suggested I join your group b/c this group provides a wealth of information! Thank you!
