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 Missy [FCwife] on September 15, 2010 at 2:38pm: thanks everyone, im hoping to hear from him today. AbbyP said her hubsand said that they might get calls today but just to see if they got paid.

Comment by DanaMN ~Kris's Mom~NCTS SanDiego on September 15, 2010 at 2:32pm: Hugs, Missy & Victoria!!! I know how hard it is to be apart. When our son(now my recruit!!) was born , my hubby was in Greece! He left in May and didn't come home until October when our son was 3 months old. Distance does make the heart grow fonder! ;)

Comment by timsmom submariner on September 15, 2010 at 2:09pm: @ Missy, I saw your pictures and what you have written on your page about waiting months for a single kiss...you and Chris are the perfect couple! Great wedding pictures! I know it must be so hard missing him right now....stay strong, I know he is thinking of you and wanting to call.

Comment by Missy [FCwife] on September 15, 2010 at 2:04pm: i got a letter today from sunday, he said they were gettin calls tuesday (yesterday) which his div. did but not him? So hopefully ill find out next wend or thur when i get the next letter. he got all for wisdom teeth pulled and he said its gettin easier.. he doesnt really say much besides it sucks. the rest is him asking me questions about my life and how much he misses me..

Comment by DanaMN ~Kris's Mom~NCTS SanDiego on September 15, 2010 at 1:43pm: Thanks, winniesam!! My birthday was actually on the 9th but he wanted me to know he was thinking of me on that day. He said "that has to mean something, right?" And then I cried... because of course it means the world to me!!!

We do have wonderful children. He has such nice things to say about the recruits he has come to know in his division. It's neat to hear how his bunk mate is Medical Yeoman and keeps an eye out for him. When he's busy with the tons of paperwork he has to do, Kris says he helps him by doing his folding for him. :) He said he finally figured out how to iron, because several guys helped him out!

He's doing great on inspections and tests - so he'll just need to pass that final PFA!

He said that the many of the division "leaders" (Recruits that hold positions) got IT the other day for about an hour because of the divisions mistakes and the rest of the division had to stand at parade rest and just watch! He said it was brutal.

I recall that happening to us in boot camp. It's another lesson they all learn. Tough love! :)

Comment by LindaB(Ant'sMom)10/15 on September 15, 2010 at 1:26pm: Happy birthday Dana. It's so great that you got a letter on your special day!!! We have wonderful children!

Comment by DanaMN ~Kris's Mom~NCTS SanDiego on September 15, 2010 at 1:20pm: I've sent Kris 3 or 4 questionnaires I think and they are funny. Make sure to add in some personal silly questions that will make your recruit smile.

Comment by timsmom submariner on September 15, 2010 at 1:09pm: @ Chris, great idea!

Comment by S12/D342-Yamile/Christian's Mom on September 15, 2010 at 1:05pm: That is so sweet.... Happy Birtdhay Dana....

Comment by DanaMN ~Kris's Mom~NCTS SanDiego on September 15, 2010 at 12:55pm: I got another letter today!! He remembered my birthday! I haven't cried over his letters until I read that. We have a tradition of going on a nature walk and then going to the drive up A&W for my birthday every year. It was just a fun family thing to do... and he said he wished we could have done that this year! :(

It's so hard to have our lives changing... with him growing up and all... and being empty-nesters...but I am so proud of him. But I miss him so much!!!! :(
