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."

Hello all, I have good news/bad news--my SR called me yesterday (GOOD NEWS!) to inform that he's been moved to PIR 11-22-13 and a diff ship/div so I'm going to join the 11-22 group and leave this one (BAD NEWS). If you want to 'friend' request me, please do! So stay strong fellow Navy Moms/wifes/GF's and pray for our SRs to endure this BC challenge!

Has anyone received a letter from their SR yet? Besides the form letter, I haven't received anything but he said he writes us everyday?.

They get to write but my SR said that they only take their mail "out" on Sundays.... so my guess is that you should have one super soon (today if the postal service is on their game) because they didn't take their mail till last Sunday.

I got my son's letter's TODAY! Just a tid bit... he said that they have to take away from their sleep to write back and that (because of that) they only have red bulbs for light... so he said not to write in pink, red, or orange.

...and of COURSE every freaking letter I wrote but one... PINK OR ORANGE! Sheesh. You'd think he would have mentioned that when he called last week?!
