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 Elizabeth on June 17, 2011 at 7:26pm: mine felt sad

Comment by Kathleen10 on June 17, 2011 at 7:25pm: My son had a cold and sore throat as well he said, I hope they can all stay well. I miss him so much, is anyone else feeling empty and all sad inside like I am, after I posted here I called my daughter and we cried, then I called my mom and we cried.. I still feel like crying. Please tell me I am not alone with this pitiful, emotional feeling;(

Comment by Elizabeth on June 17, 2011 at 7:01pm: i just got a call from my fiance!!! and i have a question for pt do they add the push ups, sit ups, and running to get on main score or what. like what if he doesn't do good on running but on everything else he is really good

Comment by Terry'saproudmom(Ship02-Div936) on June 17, 2011 at 6:52pm: Just got a call from our SR he was a little down compared to last Sunday. He has a sore throat and cough. It was a stressful week, a little homesick too! Passed the test on Wednesday. Hate to hear him down. Said that even though he has been in boot camp three weeks the first week is called P week (Processing)and so this week is only really week two of boot camp. So the what they've been told are the toughest weeks (3 and 4) are still ahead of them. Keep them all in your prayers and light your blue candles for them!

Comment by Elizabeth on June 17, 2011 at 6:16pm: yeah, my fiance said his running time was high 13 low 14

Comment by angie martin on June 17, 2011 at 5:31pm: OMG!!! my daughter called 15 minutes ago sooooo good to hear her voice she said MOM!!! I Love u and started crying and so did i i cant stop she said she has passed her test looks like they getting it together cant wait to see her 35 more days!!!

Comment by Kathleen10 on June 17, 2011 at 4:58pm: I just got off the phone with my son!!!!! He called me, I just knew he would today and he did. But now I can't stop crying, it's happy and sad all rolled together. He has only received 2 of my letters so far, so there must be a delay on mail?? Because I have sent over twenty letters. I pray so intensely that these next 35 days fly by, and I mean that sincerely. I pray for my son and all of the recruits to keep them safe and strong!

Comment by diannep on June 17, 2011 at 2:28pm: Lala: Pkg A doesn't include the PIR DVD. Just The Keel. That is extra.

Comment by diannep on June 17, 2011 at 2:28pm: terrysproudmom: If they have a debit card to their checking account, they can do that. My son happened to have a credit card and that is how he paid. I think it best to email the guy below for more info. Then maybe you can share on here what he told you.

Comment by diannep on June 17, 2011 at 2:26pm: If your SR orders Pkg A, The Keel is thrown in for free.

The payment for them has to be made by your SR. Account has to have SR's name on it. Some send a check for them if they have an account with SR's name on it. You can doublecheck this info with:

Pkg A used to be $140. PIR DVD is $29. At least, those were the prices. Hoping they still are! Please write to your SRs NOW and tell them what you want them to order---i.e., PIR DVD. My son ordered Pkg B when there...we missed out on The Keel because I didn't know about it. Tried to order it a week later...no can do! So we really feel that Pkg A is the best deal. Sorry, photo info is not sent to family members. SRs have to decide.
