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 strawberry on June 20, 2011 at 10:43pm: The Battlestations info is really interesting.

Do keep writing. They love to get letters even if they don't find time to write. My daughter writes on Sundays and I get them in Iowa on Wednesdays. I'm thinking the guys aren't so great about writing or telling the details. I copy her letters and let all the friends and family read them. That way she only has to write one per week. I is good to read others' comments and know that you feel the same way I do. It was hard to let her go.

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on June 20, 2011 at 10:37pm: When my daughter was at bootcamp I actually thought about having my mail held at the post office so I could get it earlier in the day. My mail doesn't come to the home address until about 4 in the afternoon lol. But I was good and waited every day from the front porch to see if she stopped. :-) Haha, I did get a ribbon order today from a mom who is actually a post master. Maybe she has the best job for someone with a kid in bootcamp :-) Well unless you worked in the mess hall or the Nex on base :-)

Comment by djrnova ship 07 Div 242 on June 20, 2011 at 10:19pm: I still haven't gotten a letter 8( , He said when he left He might not write much, But I'm hoping he writes anyway. I just keep writing him anyway 8)

Comment by Mare1012 on June 20, 2011 at 9:55pm: I got two more letters today! Thats makes four total! :) They seem to be doing okay! A lot of marching he said! He had his wisdom teeth out and by now im sure he is okay! Hope everyone gets letters this week!

Comment by whitemountain on June 20, 2011 at 8:37pm: I have recieved one letter, besides the form letter. It was written on the 12th (Sun) and I got it on the 16th....

Comment by BoosMom on June 20, 2011 at 7:02pm: I have been getting one a week. I can hardly control myself until it gets here on Wednesdays. I asked the mail carrier if she minded if I hunted her down in the morning. She said you cant wait until after 2?? I said no maam...

Comment by nicole~a sailors girl(: on June 20, 2011 at 6:33pm: No letter here! Hopefully tomorrow. Today was his 2 weeks in!

Comment by Susan on June 20, 2011 at 4:45pm: ~Kaitlyn(ship7 div 242) No, nothing but the form letter and the phone call from 6/11. I'm hoping that they were able to write yesterday, so with fingers crossed, something will be in the mailbox tomorrow.
