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 Terry'saproudmom(Ship02-Div936) on July 6, 2011 at 12:35pm: My son took a very nice watch (big face shows regular time and militarytime and glows in the dark) with him to RTC. It did not come home in the box so I think they are allowed to have them. Seems like some have them in some of the random pictures. So if they are okay at boot camp probably A school too. Don't know if the navy gives them anything like that. Maybe one of the veteran moms know or can ask their Sailors. My son already told us we wants the Navy ring from the NEX. He never wears rings but would like to have one anyway....so we're getting him the ring.

Comment by Kathleen10 on July 6, 2011 at 8:29am: Good morning Ladies,

I have read different things on here about grad gifts. I would like to give my son a watch, do you know if he is issued one already or if he could keep the one I give him and wear it at A school?

Comment by Lvemyabej on July 6, 2011 at 12:36am: Good nIght everyone . One day closer to seeing our SR's . :)

Comment by ilmstravis on July 5, 2011 at 11:22pm: I got a letter as well today. He said he did good on some evals except he forgot to shave. Ugh He has always had that problem. Haha. I hope everyone is doing well.

Comment by Terry'saproudmom(Ship02-Div936) on July 5, 2011 at 8:29pm: Only 17 more wakeup calls and we'll be at PIR. I got the idea that they really worked hard and my SR wants all those flags badly. Said firearms wasn't as easy as it looks. They are all counting the days too but says sometimes that makes it worse so he tries not to think about it.

Comment by nursememrie on July 5, 2011 at 8:16pm: I, too, was very happy to get a short letter today, written a week ago. Continues to sound positive and proud of everything he is learning and accomplishing. Can we really be just over 2 wks away from their graduation? I can hardly wait not only to see my son, but to experience the PIR ceremony that they have all been working so hard for! HOOYAH 11/234!

Comment by diannep on July 5, 2011 at 8:09pm: We always like to post on here...about how much we appreciate all that the RDCs do for the SRs....their job is not an easy one and they do it well! So a big HOOYAH for the RDCs of PIR 7/22 !

And, no, I don't have an SR in bootcamp so I'm not brown nosing! :-)

Comment by Sherblond on July 5, 2011 at 7:53pm: Short letter from my SR today...he said "My RDC's said they love the Navy Mom's website, so don't say anything that would get me in trouble." LOL...this made me chuckle.

Comment by Terry'saproudmom(Ship02-Div936) on July 5, 2011 at 5:29pm: Hated to burst your bubble but better than being sad tomorrow is nothing comes. X Po worker...never thought I'd love mail so much in my life!!! However it paid the bills for my family (my parents both X po too)
