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 mom-11-263 on July 13, 2012 at 8:53pm: There are a lot of posts of different addresses like 3505 instead of 3405. It is okay, they say the letters will go through. Very strange!

Comment by mom-11-263 on July 13, 2012 at 8:24pm: Ugh! I feel sad for you Race's Mom! I think we mom's suffer right along with our sailors! We love them so much and we wish the best for them. Let's hope the worst that happens is that he gets set back, but gets to stay in! Lots of people have allergies. These young men and women want so badly to serve our country and make us proud! It is amazing the courage they have at such a young age! It is very admirable.

Comment by ethansmom on July 13, 2012 at 7:07pm: Proudmomof4--I'm sure they get it but may have to open in front of others .. I used one from up there so I hope it's ok I'm still thinking about forfeiting stamps and repackage . Just don't want son made fun of !

Comment by ethansmom on July 13, 2012 at 7:04pm: Welcome lexxie !! You're in right place look up there for our div too and link to fb page .. Stay on all places .. Knowledge is power !:)

Comment by cincymomdp PIR8/24 SHP 2-DIV 941 on July 13, 2012 at 7:04pm: I guess they are keeping division 941 awfully busy - no letters to home yet! Makes me sad to not be able to hear what they are up to...I will be patient. At some point I would guess they would make them write home?

Comment by Alex's Mom Ship 11 Division 262 on July 13, 2012 at 6:57pm: Ok as bummed as I was went I got home from work and checked the mailbox and still no letter it would be even worse if I couldn't at least read what your letters all contained. At least it gives me insight to what is going on in his world. Hopefully we'll get a letter soon!

Comment by ProudMomof4 on July 13, 2012 at 6:52pm: If the letter is to thick what happens? Do they open it for them to make sure it is only a letter?

Comment by ethansmom on July 13, 2012 at 5:18pm: Also read here or on bootcamp group about not too thick letters..the questionnaire i printed out came to 5 pages and is 2 stamp worthy..now im wondering if i should send it..ive already sealed it but maybe ill just open it sep pages and then mail..hhhmm thinking ..what to do ;]

Comment by ethansmom on July 13, 2012 at 5:16pm: I emailed you Dillionsmom..and its great idea to tell our SR's to see where others are from as maybe some of them are bunkmates etc and us moms know each other

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on July 13, 2012 at 3:08pm: Sorry I haven't been on lately...uhhhh...just stuff...been reading back...
Momof5...your sons letter made me smile! The red light also simulates the ones aboard ships.
Races mom...I hope.that it is just a mild reaction and one that falls under whatever criteria the Navy has to allow a waiver for him to continue on. I do know that when a Sailor has a antibiotic allergy and it is cleared with a waiver...they are issued a special red dog tag to identify it. BUT, I have no idea what the disqualifiers are for them.
