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 LindaB(Ant'sMom)10/15 on August 27, 2010 at 4:39pm: Thanks for sharing Vincen'ts Mom. At least I know he's eating well. I, like all the other Moms am so anxious to hear from him. Today is such a "weepy" day for me and from reading all the comments I guess I'm not alone. One consolation is that by the time PIR comes along he should be very familiar and comfortable there because he is going to A School in GL. training for Medical Corpsman. Sometimes I can't even type a note I get so emotional. I know this will pass. Thanks for letting me share! Love to you all!

Comment by DanaMN ~Kris's Mom~NCTS SanDiego on August 27, 2010 at 4:19pm: Thanks, Nathan's Mom. I really appreciate that!

I love how women can pull together to support each other. We are a special breed for sure! ;)

I'm loving that FB page. Sobe, I friended you.

I posted a comment on the Photo of the Day post they put up... I'm hoping they'll post a pic of our divisions soon... and that someone will see their Recruit!

Comment by SOBE,PIR 6/4/10 IT Mom, Italy on August 27, 2010 at 3:17pm: I only have a moment, but wanted to direct all of you to go on to Facebook. Then look up "U.S. Navy Recruit Training Command" under the friend search - then click 'like". They just posted photos of today's graduating sailors!!!! You'll see my comment on their main page, but I'm not Sobe on facebook! Real name is Lisa Marie. Back to work I go!!!!!!

Comment by Kelly (Pink) Curtis' Mom on August 27, 2010 at 3:14pm: Stevie - well said! The waiting is driving me crazy too!

It does help so much when others share their letters. Please keep doing it!

Dana - I like it - a division of our own! Go team! We can do this if we stick together!

Comment by DanaMN ~Kris's Mom~NCTS SanDiego on August 27, 2010 at 3:06pm: Thanks, winniesam!!! :) :) :) I'm feeling better... just had one of those weak moments!!! I'm all cried out now... so I should be good for a bit. ;)

Yay NathansMom - it's those milestones we so look forward to! Have fun doing laundry!!! LOL! ;)

Vincent'sMom... WOW! Good for you! Don't feel bad for sharing your good news with us!! It also good news for us because we are a team! Right? A division of our own! ;)

Stevie... I'm in the same boat as you. My mail came already and NOTHING. I ran out there like a crazy woman to find only a bill. Not what I was hoping for by a long shot! Eventually we will get some good news, too! hang in there!!

I love this group. ♥

Comment by Kelly (Pink) Curtis' Mom on August 27, 2010 at 2:35pm: Vincent'sMom - thanks for the encouragement! I haven't gotten any letters yet and I think I tend to think about all the hard stuff they have to do. It's good to hear your son is doing great!

Comment by Vincent'sMom on August 27, 2010 at 2:31pm: Yayyyyy Nathan's Mom!!!! I am soooo happy for you!! You should start getting some letters now. (at least the form letter) I'm happy to see that everyone is starting to get things now. I just got another letter today. I almost hate talking about it because I don't won't to upset anyone who hasn't gotten any yet. Just let me tell you that he is doing great! (Which means your SR is doing great!) He really sounded good. He said the food is EXCELLENT! So Mom, your kids are eating well. They get a choice between 3 entrees and how ever much salad, fruits, vegetables, cookies, poptart and cereal they can hold. He said "be careful though, you only have 15 minutes to eat everything and they WILL chew you out if you leave any leftovers on your plate" : ) He also said to me in all capital letters: DO NOT PAY ANY OF MY BILLS!!!!He said the first day they racked up a bill of $438.00. (Poor Baby) I guess they are realing learning about the real world really fast. : ). Hope this info helps you know that they are doing fine so far. I know it really helped me!!

Comment by Kelly (Pink) Curtis' Mom on August 27, 2010 at 2:14pm: HUGS to Loveudrew. hang in there!

WOOHOO!!! Nathan's mom!! You got your box!!! Did you cry?!

Comment by LindaB(Ant'sMom)10/15 on August 27, 2010 at 2:14pm: DanaMN, it's true what everyone is saying. You are such a rock for us, and we want to be that for you. I send big hugs to you as well.You are such a kind and loving person. We can feel it through our communications with each other. Just think, when you cry we are probably crying with you as well. Hang in there. We are going to make it! (xxxxoooo)
