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 Kelly (Pink) Curtis' Mom on September 16, 2010 at 2:28pm: Nathan's mom - Oh I'm crying with you! What a sweet thing to say - he misses you more than you know! So happy you got your Thursday letter!! HUGS!!

Dana - LOL!! I never thought of that either - not to send info with him!! But it's working out ok for me now! It is the best present!!

Comment by DanaMN ~Kris's Mom~NCTS SanDiego on September 16, 2010 at 2:25pm: Nathan's Mom! That's so sweet! What a wonderful letter! Hope those are tears of joy!!! :)

Go Navy! ;)

Comment by DanaMN ~Kris's Mom~NCTS SanDiego on September 16, 2010 at 2:18pm: That's great Pink!!! You lucky girl! So many calls... I'm kicking myself for giving my son the info ahead of time... I never thought I'd get an extra call out of it! LOL... and you get the entire weekend!!! YAY!!! That's like the best present ever! :)

Comment by Kelly (Pink) Curtis' Mom on September 16, 2010 at 2:14pm: Hi all - I just talked to my son again... he needed more information!!!!!!!!!!! I feel so blessed! Ok, I asked him what day they are on and he said 3-2 today. He knew they would be 4-1 next Wed. He did say they are doing it out of order so I don't know if that helps us or not! I just feel giddy! He told me that he won't leave for FL until the 19th of Oct. so that means we will have the weekend together! Yay!

Comment by bonniern PIR 10/1 nukesMM 1102a on September 16, 2010 at 2:12pm: Just a suggestion: Include self addressed stamped envelopes in your next card/letter, send extra stamps, they never have enough. Anything to save them time may help you get more letters and info.

Comment by DanaMN ~Kris's Mom~NCTS SanDiego on September 16, 2010 at 1:22pm: T-Shirt is just something some people are ordering.
Here's the link... TSHIRT LINK

I haven't decided if I'll get one yet or not. Might be fun to wear to the Meet & Greet but totally not mandatory.

I think you can order them even after graduation so if your recruit wants one or something you can get it. They might even have them available at graduation... but that's not confirmed.

Sounds like there's still time to order if you want one.

Comment by Vincent'sMom on September 16, 2010 at 12:54pm: Thank you....Yes it is very hard : ( I am just blessed that family will still be there.

Comment by DanaMN ~Kris's Mom~NCTS SanDiego on September 16, 2010 at 12:49pm: Victoria - LOL... I don't think they go to family... but don't worry! Nothing you can do about what their process is. It'll be fine! :)

Comment by DanaMN ~Kris's Mom~NCTS SanDiego on September 16, 2010 at 12:42pm: Vincent's Mom... oh... hugs... I'm sorry you won't be able to make it... BUT HOW LUCKY for Vincent to have his Aunt come! That's great! Be sure to check out the RTC's Facebook page for pics of the graduation... they'll post them on Friday.

We look forward to meeting her!! :)
