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 Kimberly P on July 28, 2011 at 11:20pm: Brejones that's too bad about them not coming together yet. I didn't even ask because my son was so ill and sounded terrible. He is never sick, and I kept asking if that was why he was calling but he said no. He did s
ay they won a flag today so that might be a turning point. I told him I was sending positive mom vibes over the phone so he could get well.

Comment by al0251 on July 28, 2011 at 10:01pm: I am soooo happy I finally got letters from my son , actually 2 letters with different days. I am happy he is doing fine, They removed his wisdom teeth this monday Letter was sunday however he told me that they put him in SIQ (Sick in Quarter) for 2 days, means doing nothing just resting.

I hope that everyone got letter and praing for a phone call Probably next week, DIV 818

Comment by magnoliagirl1963 on July 28, 2011 at 9:23pm: brejones: so funny "mom you actually want me to write" They have no clue do they what we're going through! lol If they only knew. I've thought about this child more in the last 3 weeks than I have in all his 23 years! oh well...that's the way it goes right? As I've said before how did those poor moms do it back in the Vietnam days before internet and all that we have today...Makes me so grateful for all that we do have...I'll keep you posted! Thanks so much for caring.

Comment by BreeBree31 on July 28, 2011 at 9:17pm: Hi Magnoliagirl,

I am so sorry to hear that you have not gotten your phone yet, I will definitely be praying for you. I really do understand because you have read my discussion thread. I will be watching so we can shout together. Sending phone call vibes thru the airways to for tomorrow.

BTW, he said MOM, you actually want me to write. I said son, please so that I can really know all the details. He said Sunday are for shinning shoes, ironing clothes and other stuff but he would try. He told me that he didn't know when he would call next so, its means I will be waiting by the phone again.

Praying for you and please post as soon as you get your phone call which will be tomorrow.

Comment by magnoliagirl1963 on July 28, 2011 at 9:06pm: ohhh brejones!!! so happy for you! and he loves the food!! Awesome... no phone call for me, but I believe tomorrow will be my day! In my one letter I got from my son, he said the food was horrible! I was so tempted to send a ziplock of Tony Cacheres (that's cajun seasoning incase you don't know), but was afraid to. Did you ask him where that letter was??? ha ha! well happy happy for you!!! You've had a long haul of worries...no call or letter today, but will pray and hold out hope for tomorrow...goodnight friend!

Comment by BreeBree31 on July 28, 2011 at 8:26pm: Thank You soooo much.

Comment by BreeBree31 on July 28, 2011 at 7:50pm: Where do we order Tshirts from, is there a website that I missed???

Comment by BreeBree31 on July 28, 2011 at 7:49pm: DIV 283 here too and I got my call today...I was sooooo happy. He said he hate the RDC yelling at him but LOVES the food. He told me his division has not come together as a group yet, it seems to be every man for themselves. He told me his A school would be in GL so I will be staying until Sunday or Monday.

HooooHuuuuuum, LIFE is so much better now that I heard from my SON.

Comment by erinlynn87(7/289) on July 28, 2011 at 7:36pm: yes! the lady called and said those division tshirts should arrive about a week before PIR, thanks diannep!
