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 timsmom submariner on September 10, 2010 at 3:40pm: Missy, thanks for sharing. Yes, I bet my son has to wear those grandpa glasses too...cracks me up! I hope we can get a picture.

Comment by Kelly (Pink) Curtis' Mom on September 10, 2010 at 3:38pm: OMG Tracye - you are so funny!!!!!!!!!

Missy - so glad you got to hear from your hubby! My son is in 344 too and he's 6'8 so maybe your hubby has at least SEEN him?!?! LOL My son didn't give a lot of details so it's nice to hear some from others in his division! Thanks for sharing!

Newnavymom - I have that problem too so what we decided was to choose the 4 guaranteed spots (along with the kids under 12) and the rest could either come and maybe get in for the ceremony, or if not, we could all get together after. I don't know how else to handle it! :)

Yes, please RSVP to me with a loose head count for the M&G at Anastasias.

Comment by Tracye** Diva Rambo** on September 10, 2010 at 3:36pm: Well it wasn't the letter I was hoping it would be....she said that things are tough and sometimes she questions why she is there but knows it will pass....she is going off the strengths that I have given her in 18 years to make it thru...she did say that they get time taken away from their sat phone calls if ppl act up or don't do their best...and she crys each night more time is taken away...she just wants to call me....but she said that she can't wait to see me in the stands being proud on the 15th...and that she has met some really nice ppl....but hates that they are losing some of the contest because of some that don't really try....ya'll have to know she's a competitive girl hates to lose.....and they have an important test coming up and have 2 trys to pass it if not they get set back 2 weeks....and the best part was she loves and misses me more then she thought she could!!

Comment by Missy [FCwife] on September 10, 2010 at 3:17pm: Hello, everyone i got letters!! Im pretty sure my hubs was one of the ones writing when he wasnt supposed to, he said something about writing in the dark on "p-days?" He said that he hates it and its worse than jail, but is keeping a possitive additude. He also mentioned going to church, which was nice. Said his div. had to switch barracks which sucked bc they had to walk 1 1/2 miles with 100lbs of sh*T! He said he doesnt mind the physical stuff or studying, its the folding and folding and cleaning he hates (i knew that was coming, im the cleaner at home) He said he stands watch at night alot so little sleep for him. He said there are a bunch of cool guys and hates that he cant really talk to them much. He said that is RDC's are crazy!! But one is funny and cool, but the scariest?! lol He said he has to wear grandpa glasses, lmao which is HILARIOUS bc i could nvr get him to wear his contacts or glasses!!!!! Leave it up to the navy. He said he has to have alot of teeth work, which doesnt surprise me he hasnt had dental coverage is FOREVER!!! And he said the peanut butter shot sucked!!! His @** hurt for three days, also he said he is starting to get sick. He also said that one night they got in trouble bc there were too many ppl out of bed, he said "great we are gunna be in deep sh*t tomorrow" Also said he passed his swimmers test, and there were alot of important test this week!!! but thats all i got for now sorry it is so random i kept remembering and forgeting things he said..

Also his bunkmate is 31 from houston, tx and has 2 kids?? by the way.

Comment by timsmom submariner on September 10, 2010 at 3:02pm: Pink - are we to RSVP to you for the M&G? I know I am going to be there. That's another thing I am dealing with...everyone wants to go to graduation. How is this suppose to all work?
