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 MEJ on February 2, 2012 at 8:08pm: Great letter from our son today. So happy for him. Hard work but allot of humor so I know he is doing just fine. 4 pages... I am on top of the world and so very proud of him.

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on February 2, 2012 at 3:48pm: MARLINSPIKE discussion is up. It comes at the end of week three.

Comment by diannep on February 2, 2012 at 2:16pm: harpistmom: I bet your son will put on some nice muscle weight. They look phenomenal at PIR. Best shape ever! Good food, exercise, sleep, no alcohol, etc...it sure shows!

Comment by MR.MOM-DIV-85 on February 2, 2012 at 2:11pm: My son said the galley is awesome. Great food with lots of fruits and vegetables...

Comment by harpist mom on February 2, 2012 at 2:02pm: That is good to hear, Jenny! My son is quite thin. Perhaps he will "bulk up" a little. It will be interesting to see him in March!

Comment by jennyemt713 on February 2, 2012 at 1:57pm: I forgot to mention yesterday - my daughter says the food is really good in boot camp. She has had General Tso's chicken, Chicken Cordon Bleu, some kind of fish, and a bunch of other good items that I don't remember off the top of my head. So they are eating good.

Comment by HannahKathryn17 on February 2, 2012 at 1:17pm: I finally got my letters! I got four all which are like 4+ pages long. I don't think I have ever been this happy in my entire life!

Comment by diannep on February 2, 2012 at 9:32am: Congrats, ehud! It is nice to hear such good news in such difficult times...with so much negative news out there. My family (extended too) are in some hard struggles right now....of all sorts...but we claim the Lord's blessings on us...because when we think about them, one by one (like the song says: "Count your blessings, name them one by one.")...it is amazing how many there are. It is a way to stay "up" in a world that seems to constantly want to pull us "down!'

Yes, Amy, we N4Moms veterans have heard that it is cheaper to get transportation from the airport/GL (Sarge) and then rent locally.

Good morning all!

Comment by AmyaodRN on February 2, 2012 at 12:27am: Kimberly-congratulations on your letter. So good to hear our SRs are doing okay!

Comment by Kimberly (HM mom) on February 2, 2012 at 12:23am: I got my first letter today!! I'm thrilled, beyond words.

My SR sounds great and he's doing even better.
