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 8, 2010 at 6:35pm: Awesome! That's the kind thing I like to hear. I'm trying to stay positive even though I'm so use to talking to my hubby everyday. I'm sure everyone hear feels the same way. Thanks ladies! Let's bring on the phone calls & letters!!!!

Comment by Navy Wife K on September 8, 2010 at 6:18pm: Hi everyone! I'm new to this group.. but the no letters & phone calls are old to me too! 36 days & COUNTING! YAY! :)

Comment by Tracie (Lititz, PA) on September 8, 2010 at 6:13pm: Chris'swife and trashar - Thanks for the information and the encouragement...just what I needed to read after making another trip to an empty mailbox :) Staying positive in PA.

Comment by trisha on September 8, 2010 at 6:01pm: Regarding phone calls - I HIGHLY suggest that you write down, in advance, questions you have. What happened in our group, you are so emotional about hearing from your SR, and the time goes very quickly, you may not get the informaotin that you need or want. On average, and this is only an average, they get about 25 minutes total when they do get to call, other than the final "Im a sailor call, then its about an hour. The area code is 847, so keep your phones close and I again, if you get a call from your SR, post it, so that others in your divisoin know to keep an ear out.

I hope you everyone of you gets a letter this week. I am 2.5 weeks past PIR and just reread my letters, the change you will see as the weeks progress is amazing.

Comment by timsmom submariner on September 8, 2010 at 5:53pm: Chris, how did you husband sound? How is his ship and division doing? My son is in the same ship and division! Thank you for giving us the heads up!!

Comment by Missy [FCwife] on September 8, 2010 at 5:52pm: Hello Everyone, I just wanted to let you all know what i've recently learned. My husband got a short phone call home monday bc they needed me to send out some paperwork. SO i got to talk to him for a breif minute. I wanted to let you all know that he send he had just received my letter from aug 30th this past saturday and had got a chance to write back. Also he said they should be getting their first phone call home sunday, but not to hold him to it. So hopefully we will all be receiving letters and phone calls this weekend! :) GOD BLESS YOU ALL AND YOUR WONDERFUL FAMILIES! <3

Comment by LindaB(Ant'sMom)10/15 on September 8, 2010 at 5:35pm: Hi ashley bob12, I certainly agree, your artwork is beautiful! Well today is 3 weeks that my son is gone and I, too, am anxious to get a letter. His recruiter seems to think that they got a chance to write on Sunday and we should be receiving a letter soon. It's not soon enough as far as I'm concerned (LOL). Hurry up!!!!

Comment by timsmom submariner on September 8, 2010 at 5:25pm: demedic & pink helmet....That is a good way to look at not getting a phone call....no news is good news.

Comment by Kelly (Pink) Curtis' Mom on September 8, 2010 at 5:12pm: deemedic - that's my biggest fear too! So I guess not getting a call is a good sign...

Comment by timsmom submariner on September 8, 2010 at 3:53pm: Hey Ashley, did you draw your profile picture? Also, I agree too, thanks for everyone's friendship and support. Everyone here has helped me learn something more about the Navy and what to expect! You are all awesome!
