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."

No phone call today yet but we did get another letter. I guess that is the next best thing right?

momw4d, That's awesome and it would be great for them to have someone familiar especially since it will be again a new place.

I got another letter today too. Hes getting his wisdom teeth pulled also!! He is looking forward to the two days of rest he will get afterward. He also said they havent let them have any mail yet!!

Momw4d, yay for you. It really does make it feel like they are still with us.  Our SR said he knows we have questions but since he hasn't gotten to see any mail yet he really doesn't know what all to tell us. He is anxious to hear from his wife, I think he is really concerned that she is doing ok. I hope you are right aschalk about them maybe getting their mail today. Although we have sent probably 15-20 letters, how will he ever catch up?!? lol He said he is losing alot of weight because he gets beat every night and morning. I hope that isn't as bad as it sounds. I had to laugh because he said he passes everything stowed correctly and making his bed. Well thats a first!! lol But I am very proud of him, it sounds like he is keeping his spirits up and is doing well. Also can't wait for that phone call. aschalk it is great to have your input here, thank you so much. :) It really does help us moms and wives out.

Your right. Hooray, Half way there, I think we can do this!! :)

That is so frustrating, and probably not helping moral too much. But we will keep writing and hopefully they will get their letters before PIR. I am glad they have gotten to send some at least.

Hey there courtney! How ya holding up there girl? Just got my first call too! What a joy to hear him. I guess they just got mail recently and my son chris and your fiance put 2 & 2 together and connected us from chatting on here. Pretty cool. Everything sounded good outside of the wisdom teeth extractions. Lol I know chris was not a happy camper since he's only had 2 fillings in his life. I sense a lil struggle with the division but think they are starting to get it. 4 more weeks. Yeahhh!! We might just make it now that mail is flowing and a phone call home. Best wishes to you and all loved ones in our division. Tomorrow is the start of our 2nd half. Look forward to meeting everyone at meet & greet.
