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 Donna (Christopher's Mom) on May 2, 2011 at 7:51am: Diannep- thank you I will. Hoping to get the form letter today

Comment by diannep on May 2, 2011 at 7:40am: Donna: When you get the form letter, check the address your SR wrote in that with the address the recruiter gave you. Sometimes they are a bit different...the form letter one is the correct one. Your letters to your SR will get there if the recruiter's address is wrong, but may take a bit longer.

Comment by diannep on May 2, 2011 at 7:39am: Sunny: Sadly...there is plenty of room in my bra for my phone. :-)

Comment by diannep on May 2, 2011 at 7:18am: So proud of our NAVY SEALS and their accomplished Bin Laden mission yesterday! HOOYAH!

Comment by Donna (Christopher's Mom) on May 2, 2011 at 6:34am: We received the box. Bit, no form letter yet. I'm Hopi g today it will come. His recruiter gave us his address do, I have sent 4 letters and two questionnaires. He will probably think his Mom is crazy. Oh well. He is in Ship 11 Div. 204

Comment by Sunnyb on May 1, 2011 at 10:43pm: Hello Ladies, How fun! Yes I got the box & the form letter about day 5 and now we are on day 11. Gonna see if that phone fits in my bra! haha.. I'm enjoying reading your notes. I think I sent out 5 letters by now, either my SR will rejoyce, or he will think his mom has cracked if he gets them all at one time. Yep, even did the questionaire. Hopefully this week I will get mail..! Sure nice to partner with you all,!

Comment by KC'smom on May 1, 2011 at 10:20pm: Man, this site is so funny. Had no idea other mom's were putting the cell phones in their bras. I'm so afraid if it's in my pocket or purse I won't hear it. My younger kids saw me pulling the cell out of my bra the other day and about died! haha. I think they will retain that memory their whole lives by the look on their faces. Still no letter from my son (left 4/20). I absolutely can not wait to hear from him!!

Comment by RWG (ship 09, div. 206) on May 1, 2011 at 7:28pm: SunnyB, If you want a phone call from your recruit, all you have to do is put your phone on the kitchen counter then go take a shower. If your luck is like mine, thats when the call will come Lol.

But seriously, you will get the box and form letter soon.

Comment by luluhub on May 1, 2011 at 7:02pm: So glad to be a part of this groups, my son is Ship 9, Div 205, he arrived on 4/21. Your comments keep me going. One of my friends said why do you check the web so much and why listen to those ladies, it hurt at first, especially knowing she had a daughter in the service, but I let it go, your THOUGHTS mean the world to me and also I noticed someone said people say to her , have you heard and why not. Its like the song, walk a mile in my shoes. Its people here going thru the same things who understand. My prayers to all and look forward each day to what you have to say.

Comment by Donna (Christopher's Mom) on May 1, 2011 at 6:58pm: I sent my son out two questionnaires on Friday. I hope he likes them and returns them. They were really cute.
