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."

And his PIR is 1/7/11. He actually called on Saturday and we were out of town and missed the call- He was funny- YEA this is your son calling from boot camp and your aren't home! haha then said he was good and wanted to say he really missed us and loved us a lot! and then said gotta run my minute is up!

Comment by KWNavyMOM (Ship 12 - Div 033) on November 10, 2010 at 12:28pm: We got our box and letter the same day.. wasn't expecting the letter but was so excited to see his writing!

Comment by Lydia (For B - The Sea is Ours) on November 10, 2010 at 12:26pm: rickysmom you got yours almost basakwards compared to the usual hahaha

Comment by Lydia (For B - The Sea is Ours) on November 10, 2010 at 12:26pm: rickysmom - and your form letter has this as his PIR date too right??

Comment by rickysmom0403(ship 12 div 034) on November 10, 2010 at 12:24pm: newhorizon I got my letter Monday and my kid in the box yesterday. My son left Nov.1 and arrived in GL on Nov 3.

Comment by Lydia (For B - The Sea is Ours) on November 10, 2010 at 11:56am: KWN - you will have to ask him.... I put that on my questionnaires Id send to him cause their weeks are not like ours.... Their day 1 might have started Monday.. Its weird how they do it.... form letters this week - actual letter letters not for a few weeks AT BEST!..

newhorizons - no worries the first two weeks are as confusing for moms as for the kids but after about the third week - it gets better for us not for them until about week 5.... that is when they start to learn to work as a team and stop getting each other in trouble.

Comment by KWNavyMOM (Ship 12 - Div 033) on November 10, 2010 at 11:44am: Kimber I will send you my address as well! Yummy! Hope you ladies have a great day! I feel so much better just with me writing to him... Still waiting for our first letter from him but I know it will be another 2 weeks or so!
Lydia, since they were arrived in GL last week, is this week 1 for them or week 2?
