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."

Darn it Betsy - that would have been a nice meet up - especially with my SR just leaving last week.  Thanks to the moms who told me where that PIR video is..... I just watch it with tears in my eyes when I am missing my baby boy.

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on September 29, 2011 at 9:19pm
flbradybunch, my sailor is still in Pensacola, but only for about 7 more weeks.  He just graduated from his A school on Friday and is now doing his shipboard training there.  Wish I had known you last week, we could have hung out.  I just got back from there, since I went down for his graduation   :)
Comment by WandaG on September 29, 2011 at 9:16pm

Gette- That's awesome!!! You're the first mom I've come across with the same ship and div. :o)

What is RCPO and what will the exhibition be?

Comment by WandaG on September 29, 2011 at 8:36pm

Thanks Flbradybunch and FTLW!

 

Yes Flbradybunch, hopefully you will receive yours soon!

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on September 29, 2011 at 8:00pm
CONGRATS Wanda!! Woo - Hoo!
Comment by flbradybunch (Corpsman Mom) on September 29, 2011 at 7:22pm
Congrats Wanda - it helps me to know that my letter has to be coming soon to hear about everyone starting to get their letters!
Comment by WandaG on September 29, 2011 at 6:59pm

Hi everyone! I am so excited! I got the form letter and my daughter's 1st letter!!! I was so nervous opening the letter. I wanted so bad to hear how she was doing. I was praying today at work that I would receive at least the form letter to conform that the address I received from the recruiter's was correct. And it is!!! :O) She mentioned that it's tough but it's also fun. She said their commander's are impressed with her group and so they expect more from them. Talk about pressure. Anyway she sounds good and wants to received lots and lots of letters. She said the letters help their morale.

So ladies lets keep those letters flowing!!!

Oh, and I found out she is an Alto in the choir. :o)

FTLW - LOVE IT - I have at least 2 who have "Bart like" tendencies!
