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 8, 2010 at 3:45pm: No, I am not psychic......I just had a strange dream and want to laugh. I'm sure my son is fine.

Comment by timsmom submariner on September 8, 2010 at 3:40pm: Yes, I was just talking to my mom and I told her I am not having fun right now. I need to laugh. So she started to fake laugh and totally cracked me up.....so let's all laugh, even if it is fake.

Comment by timsmom submariner on September 8, 2010 at 3:32pm: @ ashley...thanks for making me laugh! Yes, I hope we all get a letter or a call soon. I did have a strange dream the other night. My son was sitting at the end of my bed and he told me that four boys went home. I asked him if he felt like he was going to make it and got his usual response, "MOM I'M FINE." He looked great in my dream. Very strange......

Comment by Kelly (Pink) Curtis' Mom on September 8, 2010 at 2:29pm: Welcome Ashley! I love this site... it just makes what I'm feeling seem ok. It's nice to know we're not alone!

Comment by trisha on September 8, 2010 at 12:43pm: Division 948 - you may get to see pictures of your SR 2 weeks prior to their PIR on the Navys facebook page. PIctures are posted of the performing divisions, so you may get a glance.

Comment by trisha on September 8, 2010 at 12:41pm: With our group and the letter issue, we noticed a "pattern" in when we would get them. Im in AZ, so my letter day was Wednesday, midwest was Tuesdays and and ca and far east was thrusdays. They usually get to write on sundays, however, for our group, one of the divisions had little contact. Seemed to be an issue with a few in the division "getting the hang of it" and unfortunately, all can be punished for a few. Remember, no news is good news, and for those that do get letters, share what you feel comfortable with. Alot won't get much. Some of our kids just arent great letter writers. Mine, we did write every sunday, but most of the time it was short and not alot of information, as he was always tired and then he got sick, so he choose that "free time" that they get to write letters on sunday to sleep.

Comment by Kelly (Pink) Curtis' Mom on September 8, 2010 at 11:17am: Good Morning Everyone. No letter for me either yesterday. I was so disappointed. I know my son doesn't like to write, but I told him even an "I'm ok Mom" would do it for me! He left 3 weeks ago today. I took him out for breakfast... I wonder what he's having for breakfast today? This is SO HARD!!!

Comment by marsyt03 on September 8, 2010 at 10:23am: Good Morning to all. No mail yesterday and am going out of town tomorrow for 5 days, so if I don't get a letter today, then I will have to wait till I get home to get anything! Its so disappointing. Am crying at the drop of a hat. We need 2 rooms so we are staying at the quality inn.

Comment by Iluvmysailor377 on September 7, 2010 at 8:28pm: I know wewill all get letters this week !! I know they dont always get to write thier first week there but they should deff. gotten to write this past sunday!!! keep your heads up ladies!!
