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 11:56am: I'm in CA and I did not get a letter yesterday. I know there is something wrong with our mail here...I think the mail depends on the area. I am going to work hard to be optimistic today. :-)

Comment by Kelly (Pink) Curtis' Mom on September 10, 2010 at 11:01am: Good Morning! I'm hoping today is the day you all get your letters! It was such a wonderful thing to find a letter in my mailbox yesterday! Hang in there - we can do this!!!

Comment by KSmom-S2 D948 - SAILOR MOM! on September 10, 2010 at 9:10am: Hello other moms....I've been sorta hanging out in my son's ship and division group and didn't realize that this PIR 10/15 large group is so active and involved. I feel as though I've been missing some things! I see that Stevie is here. Our kids (her daughter, my son) are on the same ship and in the same division. We got word this week that they all moved off ship 6 and over to ship 2. Renovations on 6 forced the move. So moms of ship 6 are busy learning a new address and switching our profiles out. To Stevie - My son specifically mentions the girls on the ship in his last letter. I got a kick out of it. Mentioned that even though it is the Navy....there are girls....and girls with drama! Not sure what the story is there so I can't wait to ask him. I've received 4 letters as of yesterday. But NO phone calls. Is it silly that I carry my phone to the bathroom and if it rings and it on the table, desk, counter, I will leap over anthing in my path like I'm 16 again to reach the phone? My dashing and diving for the phone has become a source of enterainment for my family. So glad to find all of you!

Comment by Deena/SHIP 06 DIV 944 on September 10, 2010 at 8:45am: just a quick hello from pir 9/17 ...hang in there everyone....our excitment is building as we had two divisions do battlestations last night!!

Comment by timsmom submariner on September 9, 2010 at 10:50pm: Pink, you got a letter! I'm so happy for you. I can't blame him on the soda....I'm the one who needs to give it up! LOL!

Comment by LindaB(Ant'sMom)10/15 on September 9, 2010 at 10:46pm: Oh Pink Helmet!!!! I'm so happy for you.!That's funny about the tightie whities. I know my son wears boxers too, but he didn't say anything Thank God! I'm sending a big hug your way!!!

Comment by Missy [FCwife] on September 9, 2010 at 10:23pm: Ah, its so exciting to read all of this. :) Makes me feel closer to him. Hoping for a letter tomorrow to share with all of you. FINGERS DOUBLE CROSSED!

Comment by Kelly (Pink) Curtis' Mom on September 9, 2010 at 10:23pm: I got a letter!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was quite newsy - which surprised me! LOL! He didn't say anything about having a specific job but he said it's not that bad. He also said the food was good! Oh, and he went off soda before he left because he heard there wasn't any there... but he says in the letter says there is! Oh, and he says he can't wait to go back to boxers... the whitie tighties are not working for him! Sometimes I think TMI! (too much information!)

Hang in there all of you that didn't get letters today - they are sure to be there soon!! HUGS to all!
