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 AmyaodRN on February 2, 2012 at 12:18am: Booked our hotel yesterday... Staying at key lime resort march 8-march 13. Now it's just the car rental. Thinking of using Sarge's taxi service to pick up at O'hare, then renting the car in town. Any thoughts, I thought I remember someone saying on the other group that it is cheaper than the airport rental. Also, can anyone tell me a good seafood restaurant? My SR loves seafood, and I don't think there's much of that at boot camp, so he would enjoy the treat!

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on February 1, 2012 at 10:23pm: ehuds, Wow, you have had an exciting time. Congrats on all of your family's accomplishments!

Comment by ehuds on February 1, 2012 at 10:10pm: Thanks for letting us know that the recruits really enjoy our letters, I can just see the smile on my son's face. We have had an excellent month so far, our daughter just finished training for a manager position, our son has his internship so he will complete college this summer and my husband just passed Step 2 of his medical boards, I can't wait to tell my son all this great news in his letter for today!

Comment by HannahKathryn17 on February 1, 2012 at 9:30pm: Oh I intend to. I written to my boyfriend everyday but two since he has been gone. I just figured that he would only be getting around 14 the first day because the others wouldn't have made it there by then. I have sent a total of 20 I think and I am sending another tomorrow.

Comment by jennyemt713 on February 1, 2012 at 8:59pm: Thanks ladies! Hannah - she says she actually enjoys delivering the mail and making everyone happy - so keep the letters coming!

Amy - I sure will thank her! Can't wait to here you have received your letter too!

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on February 1, 2012 at 8:45pm: Fingers and toes crossed for more letters home

Comment by AmyaodRN on February 1, 2012 at 7:44pm: Sleep will not be a priority tomorrow, setting the alarm for 1:30PM to stalk the mailman! (I work nights and don't get to bed until 9:00AM).

Comment by AmyaodRN on February 1, 2012 at 7:42pm: FTLW - that is too funny!! I know I should learn to love, embrace it, but I'm not quite there yet, lol. Hopefully tomorrow will be my lucky day!
Jenny - it does my heart good just knowing my SR is getting our mail! Thank your daughter for me! And congratulations on getting your letter. So good to hear she is doing well. Hopefully things are getting better for them as a team!
