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."

If it is different from your Recruits it is still not recommended. First Names and pictures of your Recruit are allowed but discouraged as their RDC's read this site and can easily match them up with their "mom". So you might want to consider changing your profile picture.

Comment by WandaG on October 5, 2011 at 8:01pm: Flbradybunch, you're SR is going to be so happy to receive all your letters. It's gonna feel like Xmas!! :o)

pb2011, it's funny how men forget. It's so different when you're on the other side. I say do what you feel. I average a letter every other day.

Comment by flbradybunch (Corpsman Mom) on October 5, 2011 at 7:57pm: OMG - y'all are making me feel bad! I wrote and mailed my first letter on the Friday I got my SR address from his recruiter (2 days after he arrived), and have sent at least one every day since except the first Sunday. I even wrote one the second Sunday that got mailed on Monday with his Monday letter. I have to have mailed at least a dozen letters by today! Now I feel like a neurotic momma - LOL!

Comment by pb2011(ship 11 div 001) on October 5, 2011 at 7:49pm: Same goes for me WandaG. I want to write every day, but hubby thinks thats a bit too much. Although he didn't complain when I wrote to HIM every day while he was in BC 20 years ago!

Comment by diannep on October 5, 2011 at 7:38pm: Thanks, ladies...one day at a time!

Comment by WandaG on October 5, 2011 at 6:29pm: Congrats on your first letter pb2011!!! It feels so good to get a letter from them. I can't wait for my 2nd one! I mailed my daughter her 5th letter today. Boy is she gonna be bombarded by all my mail :o)

Comment by pb2011(ship 11 div 001) on October 5, 2011 at 6:15pm: Got my first real letter today! Yay! He sounded upbeat, loves marching and wants me to write. A lot. A complete contradiction to when he left. lol

Comment by WandaG on October 4, 2011 at 7:20pm: Diannep- just want to say good luck. I hope everything works out.

Comment by flbradybunch (Corpsman Mom) on October 4, 2011 at 7:16pm: Dianne - so sorry to hear about your difficulties.

I wanted to thank you for the video you posted on another PIR page that was and edited example of what PIR is like..... watching it has helped me focus on staying strong for my SR and looking so forward to seeing the man he will be when that day comes.

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on October 4, 2011 at 7:00pm: DIANNE!!!

...2!

Thank God you found her! Glad she came through surgery okay. If she fires them then she is feeling GOOD! HA...but not good for you!

Praying for you!

Comment by diannep on October 4, 2011 at 6:14pm: Miss you guys...still trying to catch my breath with mom in hospital (emergency surgery)/demented dad with no help back home...I'll be back more soon I hope!
