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 gmarie1113 on September 9, 2010 at 7:37pm: I GOT MY LETTER ! :D sooo excited to see that he's doing well ! the letters should start coming more now (: and Tim was asssigned mail petty officer so he gets to deliver the mail , so he will see the oh so many letters i've sent lol (:

Comment by LC girlfriend [[ship12 div344]] on September 9, 2010 at 7:35pm: @newnavymom....I love his teeth...it is one of my favorite things about him...but I have NO idea how he became dental yeoman or whatever he called it. HILARIOUS! He is a math guy...I can think of 100 things he would rather do than teeth but whatever. He said "it's an important job but not too stressful!". He sounded pretty homesick. Apparently him and a few others wrote letters during p-days but got in trouble for writing when they were not allowed so he made it sound like he no longer had those letters to send to me.

Comment by Connie foaling-lady (Groton) on September 9, 2010 at 7:26pm: LC girlfriend, I'm with you (sad) that it's unbelievable our guys have not received letters from home until now. Between the girlfriend, me, and various relatives, friends and neighbors, my son should have been getting 2 to 4 letters a day, and it looks like they'll all arrive in a heap at the same time ... he'll be too tired to read them! Hope he opens 'em all, 'cause I put lots of jokes and funny military stuff in them that he could share with his new "family."

Comment by timsmom submariner on September 9, 2010 at 7:20pm: @ LC girlfriend...does that mean he has the best teeth in the division? Is he checking everyone's teeth to make sure they brushed them? Laugh.... :-)

Comment by Iluvmysailor377 on September 9, 2010 at 7:18pm: your so lucky i want my letter!!!

Comment by LC girlfriend [[ship12 div344]] on September 9, 2010 at 7:18pm: OH and he said he is the dental yeoman..."so i am in charge of my divisions teeth"....HA HA HA I can see it now...open wide!

Comment by LC girlfriend [[ship12 div344]] on September 9, 2010 at 7:16pm: I FINALLY received my first letter today (I am in FL)! So I thought I would update you all. He said he was very sick when he first got there and is sick now but he is taking 2 different medications and now he feel great! He missed his run by 35 seconds but says they have been doing a lot of PT and is confident about passing the next chance. He said they are also doing a lot of marching, folding clothes and making beds and learning a lot of "info". ha ha. He said his first week there was the hardest of his life and he questioned his reasons for being there and all he wanted was to go home...but he said that has passed and now he is glad he is there. He said he has yet to receive any letters (his letter was dated 9/5) but he thought they should be getting them later that day (sunday). That makes me sad to hear because I have sent close to 20 by now I am sure as well as my family and his family and our friends so it's a shame that they hold onto those letters for so long before giving them to the recruits. Other than that, he said the base and the weather are beautiful and that he thinks he will get a call on sunday!

Comment by Iluvmysailor377 on September 9, 2010 at 7:05pm: deemedic hopefully the letters make it to PA and VT tomorrow!!!!!

Comment by Kelly (Pink) Curtis' Mom on September 9, 2010 at 6:45pm: Yay deemedic! I'm hoping for one when I get home tonight! Then I can report about the west coast!!

Comment by Tracie (Lititz, PA) on September 9, 2010 at 6:34pm: I'm so excited to hear about all your letters...none here yet. Staying hopeful one will arrive soon. It's encouraging to hear the news you have all received.
