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 LoveUDrew/Ship12/Div343/PIR10/15 on August 25, 2010 at 5:37pm: Ya that would be exciting, especially if we meet at the graduation. My hubby was in the Navy and he was shocked to see that they have Grad and Go. He remembered everyone getting weekend liberty after graduation. Another thing to keep our fingers crossed about, everyone who goes out there surely wants to spend time with their recruit.
About the recruiter, I'll give it until Friday and then go with bugging him again. A week is tooooo long.

Comment by DanaMN ~Kris's Mom~NCTS SanDiego on August 25, 2010 at 5:25pm: LOL... Mary! Maybe Drew will be with my Kris, who left from Minnesota! :)

Comment by LoveUDrew/Ship12/Div343/PIR10/15 on August 25, 2010 at 5:20pm: He left the 18th also, from Boston, MA. I know I totally know what your mean, so I'll start us off. My name is Mary, my recruit is Drew, left the 18th, from Boston, received a box, no letter yet. Planning on attending Graduation. Anyone else want to share so Dana doesn't put excel on this site. HA HA

Comment by DanaMN ~Kris's Mom~NCTS SanDiego on August 25, 2010 at 5:09pm: Sorry if I repeat myself and ask a question I already asked... bad memory! I think I need a spreadsheet to keep track of all you and your recruits! :)

Comment by DanaMN ~Kris's Mom~NCTS SanDiego on August 25, 2010 at 5:07pm: LOVEUDREW - what day did your recruit leave?

The recruiter should have the address in 72 hours... may have to just bug him... either that or wait. My son left on the 18th and I got the box yesterday and am waiting for the letter still.

Comment by LoveUDrew/Ship12/Div343/PIR10/15 on August 25, 2010 at 4:47pm: Hey good new for Dana and Pink today. I'm happy for you and that your sons will start to get letters. I'm sure they are all awaiting that first piece of mail.
I checked the mail today......no letter. Called the recuiter and he told me to give it A WEEK! If I don't hear I can call him then. He was very nice but that seems like a long time. Trying to take deep breaths here, good thing there are cools moms to chat with.

Comment by LindaB(Ant'sMom)10/15 on August 25, 2010 at 4:34pm: Hi christina B! Yes I'm at work goofing off again, but what I wanted to tell you was that we are going to be in GL early as well. Maybe Monday or Tuesday the week of PIR.

Comment by DanaMN ~Kris's Mom~NCTS SanDiego on August 25, 2010 at 4:15pm: YAY, PINK!!! It feels good to know, huh? I started a discussion above /\ /\ for your ship/division. Go post so you can meet the others that will be in there with your recruit! I'm sure things will start filling up now that we are getting info. :)

Comment by Kelly (Pink) Curtis' Mom on August 25, 2010 at 4:09pm: OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The recruiter called me back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He's Ship 12, Division 344!! Why am I crying?!?!?
