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 hurleyl8dyShip6Div943PIR9/10/10 on September 16, 2010 at 11:52am: M is settle also in A school but it feels weird. He said it's organized but not. He feels like he should be more structured, not use to the freedom they get. I guess this is typical felling after having someone tell you when and when not to do whatever for 8 weeks.

Comment by michellep-div303-PIR09-10-10 on September 16, 2010 at 10:19am: Howdy Moms! Just wanted to pass on that when I spoke with my son yesterday, he said that he missed letters. Even with his phone and internet, he still seems to want letters. So keep that in mind... I'm happy to do it as I miss his letters, too.

Hope everyone is doing well.

Comment by zachsmom*USS Curtis WIlbur on September 16, 2010 at 8:21am: Z got moved to A School GL Tuesday. I got to give him his personal belongings Tuesday afternoon before the long drive back to Texas. Looks like I'm still going to have to send him a box.
Thanks for all the support from you ladies at N4M.

Comment by Mrs.B_Div 302_Ship9 on September 15, 2010 at 10:28pm: Thanks every one for the well wishes with our baby son...seems he is going to make his entrance into this world early...but I am really hoping he will wait at least 2 more weeks. My hubby will be in phase 2 by then if all goes as planned and his instructor has been VERY nice, saying he hopes to get my hubby some days off to spend with me after the birth...and also they are supposed to let him off for the birth. It's been SO nice that he has had very nice, very understanding teachers so far. He's still in indoc, but his actual school for MM may not start for another month or two.

So far I've gotten to see him every single day since PIR even if it's just for a short amount of time. It has made life SO much easier. Anyways, hope eveyrone is doing well! I'll keep everyone posted on the birth adn will post a picture as soon as TJ is born.
