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 18, 2011 at 3:31pm: Angel: Hang in there...bootcamp is up and down for them...crying one minute, peaceful and happy the next. Just stay on your knees for your daughter...she'll get there...

So glad that so many have been hearing from their SRs. In just a couple of more weeks, things change for the better (usually Week 4--hell week). Hell week is very busy...up earlier each day...lots of inspections and such, but they finally start feeling more positively about what they can accompllish. So you all are almost there ! They'll be sailors before you know it!

Comment by Navymom on May 18, 2011 at 3:28pm: I am so happy too! Got a call last night from my daughter. She's in 3 209. She excelled on her physical assessment today and got to call home too.

She said they all got oreos and were so excited. I am so happy I finally got my call. Here's hoping all of you get your call very soon. She is also have a rough time but I told her to keep trying and I am praying for her.

God bless!

Comment by KC'smom on May 18, 2011 at 12:46pm: Patty - you know what I realized today? 4 weeks isn't very much time. You see, I told myself that since my son was going to have to get physically fit I would take the same 8 weeks and make it my goal to get fit as well and lose some weight. With today being the halfway mark, I realized I haven't lost any weight. In fact I gained a pound! hahaha. So my goal is to work out harder and be fit, just like my boy. And I only have 4 weeks to do it!! When I get on the treadmill and jog, I picture my son jogging too, and it motivates me to go even longer. God, I'm so proud of my son. (I know we all are).

Comment by Angel W ProudMom on May 18, 2011 at 12:45pm: My daughter is having a hard time at boot camp :(

I hope that she will pass,

just so worried about her.

God Bless to all

Comment by KC'smom on May 18, 2011 at 12:42pm: I'm very happy right now b/c my son's band (well, old band) has decided to still have practice in my garage and they are here now. I know they miss my boy but they have another friend standing in to replace him. Just makes me feel better knowing I will see them all on a regular basis. Even if they are just using me!!! hahahaaha.

Comment by Patty (Ship 2 Div 931) on May 18, 2011 at 11:48am: I'm missing my son more than usual today. Total meltdown this morning. Maybe it's the 4 week mark? 4 more weeks and we're there!

Comment by pianomom1 (ship 11/div 203) on May 18, 2011 at 11:06am: i don't know anybody else in the world who gets texts from their mail carrier!!!

Comment by Donna (Christopher's Mom) on May 18, 2011 at 10:28am: I will have to talk to her about that. Hee hee

Comment by KC'smom on May 18, 2011 at 10:15am: donna- maybe your mail lady could be so kind as to make a special delivery to your work on Wednesdays!! Love it!!
