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 Justins Proud Mama of a Sailor on September 13, 2010 at 4:48pm: Thanks momofkatie, I called the recruiter last week and he didn't have the address but I'm gonna call as soon as I get home again.

Comment by Brad'sMomFL on September 13, 2010 at 3:59pm: Just received the form letter today also. My son left on Sept. 7th. Ship 12 Division 354. Anyone else in that ship & division?

Comment by Mom of Joshua, the MA on September 13, 2010 at 2:02pm: We got the form letter today! It had a short, but sweet note from our son - can't wait until he writes more! I was finishing up at Walmart when my husband called to tell me we had a letter and he wanted to open it ... without ME!! Of course I told him to wait!! lol (I had to make one more quick stop after he called, but I beat it home as quick as I could)

And so, week three begins ...

Comment by kim_mom of sailor Div 349 on September 13, 2010 at 1:00pm: Pattie Lee - You should be able to call your son's recruiter to get his mailing info. From what I hear, letters are a lifeline to them, especially once training starts. I am glad he sounded like he was in good spirits. :)

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on September 13, 2010 at 12:30pm: Thanks so much for all the nice compliments on my sons. They have all been great kids and I am so proud of them.

Someone on this page sent me a friend request who wanted info on ordering PIR ribbons. If you sent me one send me a message. My computer had an issue when I excepted the request and now I have no idea who it was from so I wasn't able to send the info. Thanks :)

Comment by Justins Proud Mama of a Sailor on September 13, 2010 at 10:36am: I got my first call Saturday from my son. He's been gone 12 days now and I was so excited to talk to him that I forgot to ask what his ship and division number is! But at least I got his PIR date. He sounded great. I can't wait to get letters so I can write letters to him. I love seeing everyones comments:)

Comment by kim_mom of sailor Div 349 on September 12, 2010 at 11:29pm: Welcome Kev's mom! Do you know what ship and division your son is in? My daughter is in Ship 7 Div 349.
