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."

My son is in Div 147. We have been fortunate to receive two phone calls so far. Also got a letter from him. I can't wait to see him on 4/18. I am sure it will be a wonderful day.

Hi ladies, I'm sending extra letters of encouragement to my son, in hopes that all goes well during Hell Week! I worry about him and hope all our sailors make it thru with great success!

My husband booked the NavyLodge, but still have not made reservations yet. Can't fly southwest, they dont fly from our city. I see that we should make "changeable" tickets but can you make them through the internet or do you have to go to travel agent?

Still can't figure out how to follow the most recent comments. The page I am on which is PIR 4/18/14. but the last comment shows Wednesday. Hopefully I can have my husband help me figure it out later. Off to put on offer on our new home in NC. Back to CO on Wednesday.

I think I finally figured this out, how to post. Well I still haven't heard from my son either by letter or phone. I have figured that I probably wont get a call until the "I'm a Sailor" call in 2 weeks, but haven't gotten a letter other than the 2 line letter a few weeks ago. I guess we'll have a lot to talk about during the weekend. I have been following the "thread" for the past couple of weeks on my cell, but couldn't figure out how to respond on it. maybe now I can.
