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."

He said he's getting used to things. It was good to hear from him.

Comment by LTLY on August 26, 2010 at 10:55pm: So happy for all the letters today!!! We Navy Moms/Wives are providing some job security for the US Post Office!
And what inspiring stories about the homeless young men and their choices!
Lala, the ribbons look great, I will be placing my order soon!
Lots of laughs from todays posts! Lots of prayers for those recruits who are struggling!

Comment by ProudNvyMom on August 26, 2010 at 10:04pm: Thanks JessicaB-Sailor Mom, I needed that reassurance. Of course Ive already written by recruit back with some Mom reassurance;)

Comment by diannep on August 26, 2010 at 9:55pm: Ok, comparing boys writing letters with girls writing. I wrote to a recruit on the 9/10 site. A name I had been given by a mom with a daughter in the same division. I got a 4-page letter from her today! WOW! I was thrillled. She was so interesting and chatty and asked that I write again. My son wrote good letters when at bc, but nothing like this. And it was so NEAT...her handwriting was phenomenal!

Comment by ProudNvyMom on August 26, 2010 at 8:31pm: Got 2 letters today, having trouble passing the swim test! What exactly is it? Any advice? Will this effect him graduating? HELP!

Comment by Kat Q on August 26, 2010 at 8:14pm: Lala Ribbon Queen - Please explain to me about the ribbons and how to order - thank you so much.

Comment by Kat Q on August 26, 2010 at 8:13pm: Hi All You Terrific Navy Moms - I just received my form letter and a first real letter from my recruit. He says it sucks because he misses us like hell and my hugs before he goes to sleep at night. He said not to worry though - he will succeed. He says he has a few guys that don't listen, but that his division is great and he is making new friends. He had to drop for having chap stick in his pocket. Guess he won't do that again. lol The clock is ticking ladies - we will succeed as well.
