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 Navy-Girlfriend32 on April 7, 2011 at 10:40pm: Yeah I got mine yesterday :) It was amazing!!

Comment by AnnaElizabeth93 on April 7, 2011 at 9:43pm: Wow! Thanks Navy-gf :) That means they should start calling any day now!

Have you received a call yet-or has anyone?

Comment by diannep on April 7, 2011 at 9:06pm: Hope you had a wonderful birthday, Lala!

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on April 7, 2011 at 8:50pm: I hope everyone had a great day. It is amazing what joining the Navy will do for your sons, daughters, or significant others. They will grow, mature, and somehow appear taller. It will amaze you. My daughter/sailor has amazed me several times since she finished bootcamp in July. And she did it again today. She sent flowers to me today for my birthday and I was so surprised. And of course I cried lol. I wish you all could smell them, they are amazing :-)

Comment by Navy-Girlfriend32 on April 7, 2011 at 8:07pm: AnnaElizabeth phone calls usually come the third or fourth week unless they lose that privilage for some reason

Comment by AnnaElizabeth93 on April 7, 2011 at 7:54pm: When people say they recieved their first letter and are "waiting" for a phone call does that mean you usually get a phone call in the week or the next week? I thought getting calls was just rare!

Comment by Nanette on April 7, 2011 at 7:19pm: Now I wait for the phone call I just hope I don't ball like a baby when I talk to her cause I don't want to make her feel sad. (I'm probably the worlds biggest winey wa-wa on the face of this earth, I cry at the drop of a hat.)

Comment by Nanette on April 7, 2011 at 7:09pm: I got my first letter yesterday and I do believe I will think as BetsymomofSailor. And remember, as she said some days have passed she wrote that letter.

Comment by Navy-Girlfriend32 on April 7, 2011 at 6:56pm: John always seems so upbeat in his letters he says he's bored but I guess that's good news

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on April 7, 2011 at 6:38pm: NCRMOORE, I always tried to remember that by the time I received my son's letters, a few days had passed, since he had written them, and whatever feelings he was experiencing when he wrote them, had probably passed by then. It kept me going, thinking of it that way.
