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 SubWife2011 on April 11, 2011 at 2:26pm: do they get more phone calls after they pass battlestations?

Comment by janlee on April 11, 2011 at 2:25pm: Just think though...that means he will be done and kicking back in Ricky's Heaven while the others are waiting to go thru..:))

Comment by Navy-Girlfriend32 on April 11, 2011 at 2:18pm: My SR's group will be first into battlestations then that makes me nervous lol

Comment by SubWife2011 on April 11, 2011 at 12:25pm: Thanks for clarifying that for us!

Comment by diannep on April 11, 2011 at 12:11pm: ascoobus: It does sound like your SR's division may have Day #1's on Fridays from what he said about Friday starting week 3. So his division's training days will be numbered as follows: Fridays- Day 1, Mondays- Day 2, Tuesdays- Day 3, Wednesdays- Day 4, Thursdays- Day 5. Weekends/holidays don't count. They number like this: 1-1 (Week 1, Day 1). You may want to put it on your calendar so you can remember where they are in training in Div 167-168 (brother divisions--train together). They also will go through BattleStations first.

Comment by janlee on April 11, 2011 at 11:01am: BTW Ascoobus...your profile pic is ADORABLE!!

Comment by janlee on April 11, 2011 at 10:59am: ascoobus---yes...they may sit in proccessing for a week or so until the division fills up. My son was in BC for a total of 91/2 weeks. Uhhggg...i hated that he had to be in there longer than what we all anticipated, but thats what the Navy is like, and it was good practice for what they will throw at us as we ALL take this crazy journey...:))

Comment by Ascoobus on April 11, 2011 at 10:41am: I guess they were in processing for a while because people who left the week after them are graduating the same day. I mentioned that it was the 3rd week when I talked to him on Wednesday but he said that their 3rd week didn't start until that Friday. Maybe their weeks start on Friday since they graduate on a Friday?

Comment by diannep on April 11, 2011 at 7:41am: Tanasia: Yes, you need to include the division number, which is the really important one. The letters you have already sent may get to him, but just take longer because they have to track down his division number. Include that in the next letters.

Comment by SubWife2011 on April 11, 2011 at 2:58am: My SR said he would probably call home in week 5 (2 weeks from when he called Wed) which would be next week.
