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 diannep on May 31, 2011 at 8:37pm: KC'sMom: So sorry to hear that! Oh my gosh...let's hope there is no surgery...just lots of rest and healing. If you think he could use some encouraging letters, please let us know. I'm sure many on here will be happy to write to him to encourage him. There was one SR there for 6 mos (after his own PIR, I think)...he is now a sailor. Stories like that encourage those with shorter stays...I know he is shocked and discouraged now, but hopefully he will hang in there, heal and get through this. And if he heals more quickly then they are expecting, then hopefully he can get back to training sooner.

Do you think we can write to him? He will have a new address while in RCU so when you get it, maybe we can write. You can't post it on this board, but please let us know you have it and we can get it from you through "pm".

Praying for him....and you too.

Comment by Navymom on May 31, 2011 at 8:36pm: Welcome archangel's mom! My daughter is on that same ship and division.

If you go to Recuit Training Command on facebook you can click on photos on the left hand side of the page. If those are the photos you are talking about.

Comment by Jessicasmom on May 31, 2011 at 8:30pm: Welome archangel!!

KC's mom, I am soooo sorry about your SR's foot!! I will be praying for you all!

Comment by KC'smom on May 31, 2011 at 8:25pm: Well, I got the call. Foot is badly broken. Might even need surgery. Cancel reservations. He will be there all summer. My heart is aching. It really is just aching. My son is being positive saying "it could be worse". But, I know him, and I know all he wants to do is move on out of boot camp. Now he will be there at least another 10 weeks. My God, he will be there until the fall.

Comment by Angel W ProudMom on May 31, 2011 at 8:12pm: Welcome Archangel to the site :)

our daughter is on the same ship, you will find a lots of info on this site.

Comment by Joy125 (FC Mom) on May 31, 2011 at 7:29pm: To KC's mom.....remember what I said about changing the PIR date? There is a facebook page for the RTC and the mediator responded to a family member that they will ALWAYS notify via telephone if there is a change to the PIR date. It will never be by letter. So....until you've had the phone call, hang tight!!

Comment by Archangel on May 31, 2011 at 6:49pm: I have been reading your posts. Lot of information on here to share. I can't seem to find those photos you are talking about on facebook. Where can I find them. My daughter is on Ship 03 Div 209

Comment by MamaCindy (MMW TM) on May 31, 2011 at 4:47pm: Welcome, Marie! Glad you jumped in and that he's on track now. It could sure happen to any of us as we've seen in these weeks our SRs have been at BC. So many things we never knew before : )

Sorry if I caused a stir by mentioning the gas chamber was this week! I guess I was assuming all had heard or read about it. It's such a rite of passage for boot camp. I'm sure they'll all do fine! They've come so far since we last saw them. I'm so proud of them all for what they are accomplishing! - Even the ones who've gotten injured: it happened when they were striving to do their very best. Hang in there, gals, we're getting close now!

Comment by meryl (ship 09 division 208) on May 31, 2011 at 4:39pm: Linda, check to see if your son's in the picture on Facebook. Good luck!

Comment by meryl (ship 09 division 208) on May 31, 2011 at 4:38pm: Jessica, they posted the picture for my son's division but unfortunately I can't find him anywhere in it. :0(
