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 Navy Wife K on September 14, 2010 at 5:02pm: My husband sounded homesick. I cried the whole time! It was hard to hear his voice like that. He said it is so hard...and so hard going through it w/o me. We did everything together, we even worked at the same job. I know he is looking forward to PIR. He said he doesn't get much sleep...they wake them up a lot. He said he felt so much better eveytime he gets mail from me.... I got really sad but happy to hear his sweet voice. It made my day & I hope everyone else gets theirs! I've been praying & that's the only thing that gets me through. 30 more days!!

Comment by Vincent'sMom on September 14, 2010 at 4:54pm: Oh Missy : ( I'm sure you will probably get one in the next hour or so. There is probably only so many phones they can use at once.

Comment by timsmom submariner on September 14, 2010 at 4:54pm: @ Pink....I'm sure they will get the marching down. My son doesn't sound homesick at all...My son was on the plane with yours when they left San Jose...How long did you get with him on the phone? I got 4 minutes.

Comment by KSmom-S2 D948 - SAILOR MOM! on September 14, 2010 at 4:53pm: I've seen some preprinted questionaire thingies to send to our recruits.....now I can't find them. Someone help! Thank you!

Comment by Missy [FCwife] on September 14, 2010 at 4:52pm: i didnt receive a phone call.. that worries me!

Comment by LoveUDrew/Ship12/Div343/PIR10/15 on September 14, 2010 at 4:52pm: Got a call too!! Sounded Great. Loving It. Health, well fed and likes the guys he is with.

Comment by Vincent'sMom on September 14, 2010 at 4:51pm: I am so happy for all you that are getting calls!!!! I hope your SR's are doing great! Let us know what they are saying. OK....that only leaves ship 2 div 948, right? We must be the last ones!

Comment by Kelly (Pink) Curtis' Mom on September 14, 2010 at 4:50pm: Regarding SpringHill Suites - I think the rates they are quoting now are $10 more than what we got when we booked early. I think this is still a graduation rate because the normal rate is like $109. They do have pull out couches in the living area.

Did any of you remember to ask when Battlestations is?! I totally forgot because I was so happy to actually talk to him!!

Comment by Kelly (Pink) Curtis' Mom on September 14, 2010 at 4:45pm: Ok... my son sounded pretty serious and was talking quite softly. Don't know if there were lots of people around or what. But he doesn't sound homesick! He's on a bottom bunk which surprised me! He said they are easier to make or something like that?! The connection wasn't the clearest. He said his division is having some trouble with marching. He also said there was one other tall guy there - about 6'4" and otherwise everyone else was about 6'1 or shorter. (he notices this because he's 6'8!) We talked about graduation - he didn't know what PIR stood for! And who he should put on the list when that time comes. He said they were done swimming and he did well. He didn't pass the push up/sit up portion of the pt, but he didn't sound too worried about that. He listed all the people he got letters from. He said he's just trying to do what they tell him too and not get into trouble! Then all of a sudden he had to go so I got to tell him I loved him but he didn't get to tell me that - but I already know it! It was SO good to just hear his voice!!
