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 June 28, 2011 at 8:51am: A peek at that goosebump moment at PIR when the big door rolls up.... :-)

Comment by Kathleen10 on June 28, 2011 at 8:13am: I got a letter yesterday, he sounds pretty good. I wonder if they will get another phone call before the "sailor call"? Oh ladies, I had hoped it would get a little easier but I worry constantly about him. Is anyone else in this boat? And he confirmed that was his Div on June 21 on Facebook. I knew I saw him, though my husband swears it was my imagination. A mom knows!!

Comment by DukesMom on June 28, 2011 at 6:23am: Blue candles are lit!

Comment by ilmstravis on June 28, 2011 at 12:01am: Everyone light your blue candles it is hell week.

Comment by Terry'saproudmom(Ship02-Div936) on June 27, 2011 at 10:58pm: hooray and hooyah nurse!! Glad to hear it. I think they get to write twice a week but they get mailed together. I got 2 on Friday written on separated days but both postmarked the 22nd.

Comment by nursememrie on June 27, 2011 at 10:54pm: Just a note to say I was surprised to find two more letters in the mail today! He says they (Div 234) now have privileges to write on Tues and Thurs also. He was very excited. Continues to sound very determined and focused despite the difficulty. I am a happy mom to get those letters! :-)

Comment by Terry'saproudmom(Ship02-Div936) on June 27, 2011 at 10:49pm: looking forward to meeting you all....we may or may not have the same A schools I doubt there will be anyone else coming to Port Hueneme but I think we're going through a very important journey together and hope we will keep in touch even after PIR

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on June 27, 2011 at 3:43pm: lol, Diannep, she is the one standing beside me with the yellow dress and white belt. My oldest son is the younger looking one behind her and my son who is also joining the Navy is the younger one on the other side. The 2 girls in front of him are my new step-daughters, The youngest one in front of me is my niece (from my previous marriage lol) and the girl beside my sailor is her best friend and like a part of the family.
