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 pianomom1 (ship 11/div 203) on May 14, 2011 at 6:32pm: i guess the one reason they might not get to call is because they haven't "earned" it? i thought somebody said that they could make a call when they had done a bunch of stuff correctly, but i am not sure. let's try to remember that this is a brand new job they are all having to learn--from the details and paperwork to HOW TO THINK and HOW TO RESPOND. and that is a huge undertaking and may not be going as smoothly as everybody would like. we haven't gotten a call yet either. but KEEP WRITING, LADIES!

Comment by Patty (Ship 2 Div 931) on May 13, 2011 at 10:35pm: Yay, got a 30 minute call from my son this evening! Had his wisdom teeth pulled Tuesday and had a bit of a cold but is doing well! Hoping everyone gets calls soon.

Comment by Donna (Christopher's Mom) on May 13, 2011 at 10:27pm: I got home this evening and read the letter. In the beginning he said Boot Camp was good and that he made alot of friends. He said today (he did t date it so I don't know what day it was) they finally started doing something interesting besides folding clothes and making their racks. He passed his swim test. He actually admitted he missed home and said it was boring there. He asked how we were. No mention of sore feet or being sick which is good.
On another note he got paid today
