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 missheparin(ship11/div370) on October 7, 2010 at 1:32pm: Savannahgal - I agree!! Glad to hear you spoke with your SR. As for me, I'm hangin' in there! :)

Comment by HeatherMc(ship11, DIV 369) on October 7, 2010 at 1:17pm: Yea! for you! Glad he sends good news from our Div. Maybe I'll get one today or tomorrow. I always hurry home from work just in case...

Comment by Kgswifeforever on October 7, 2010 at 1:14pm: Awwww Sharon!!!! So happy you got a letter!!!!!! Hopefully i will get mine soon. Im in SC so it may take a little longer even though our men are in the same div and ship:)Im so glad diego is doing well. my husband said he was gonna look for him so maybe they will make friends:) I will let you know when i get my letters!!!!

Comment by Sharon ~ K's Mom on October 7, 2010 at 1:11pm: I am doing the Happy Dance!!! We got letters today!! He sent four days in one envelope and it has made the day brighter!!! He seems to be doing good, likes the marches and says they have cool cadences. The food is good and there are a total of 87 guys in his division. He doesn't think there is anyone else in his group from Michigan. His bunkmate is from CT. He didn't give a first name, so don't know who it is. Another guy he talks to is from TX.. and they will have baseball in common as well as A&M. Diego would have loved to go there, he was accpeted at Auburn University and that was his first choice. He went Navy instead. So, over all he sounds good and getting through things. They really had a bad beat down last Friday and that upset me, but they all got through it. He said it got old fast and that sounds like my boy! So........all is good today. My heart is singing and a smile will be there for sure. Our other two will love to read his letters and they will sit and write him back. He asked for a photo of the dog, he loves her. Nikko is a 7 yr. old Golden Retriever and his buddy! Hope you got your letters today too!!!

Comment by savannahgal-nukemom1110MT on October 7, 2010 at 12:39pm: Missheparin, we are small but mighty! (Ship 11 Div. 370) I heard from my SR today, very businesslike call to find out some medical history info, but still his voice. Said the REAL call would be next week! Now my imagination is working overtime re: his past history of chest surgery for sunken chest in 8th grade. Gotta stay calm....

Comment by Kgswifeforever on October 7, 2010 at 12:31pm: Im still waiting for a letter... He said when i talked to him sunday that he sent them... guess they have to go through alot before we actually get them.....

Comment by ladypinkhatter on October 7, 2010 at 11:43am: Our division is small also and I had to ask my recruit if there were any other females there because I have the only female in our division..so there are a lot of Moms who don't know about this website. I still call my daughter's recruiter every now and then and thank her for telling me about this website...lol. Have a great day everyone!

Comment by Diana PIR 11/12/10 on October 7, 2010 at 10:51am: Welcome back Heather! I missed you!!! :-) Glad to hear from your recruit on Tuesday and that he is feelilng better from the teeth pulling if still a bit sick. We are on the downhill slide now....WHEEEEE!!!!!

Comment by HeatherSRfiancee(Shp2/Div952) on October 7, 2010 at 9:58am: Hello Ladies, sorry I haven't been very active lately; finishing up a semester at school. Anyway, I recieved 2 phone calls from my SR on Tuesday morning which was awesome considering I recieved 3 letters from him telling me he was sick and had to have 2 of his wisdom teeth pulled as well the previous week. He says everyone is sick. So it was amazing to hear his voice, he sounded sick but assured me he was fine and pushing through it. Glad to hear some ladies are receiving phone calls and letters are starting to come in on a regular basis- I believe we've made it past the hard part and it's all downhill from here :) Can't wait to meet you ladies, this site has been a Godsend.

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on October 7, 2010 at 9:45am: You are right lynn- I just don't think I could survive boot camp without this site. I think that the form letter should have this web site listed as a suggestion for parents to go to for information. :-)
