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 Deneen(Nurse McGyver) on October 21, 2010 at 10:02pm: Congrats to all for getting letters. I hope I get another one soon. I've only received one, last 10/15/10. I knew she would forget about me.

Comment by shana-(kaceysmom) on October 21, 2010 at 9:46pm: ok no prob !

Comment by JM-ISmomx2 on October 21, 2010 at 8:50pm: Kevins'mom and Kaceys'mom, just so you know I deleted your recent posts. No offense it is just that N4M doesn't want last names posted. It is best to send private messages to pass alone last names.

Comment by diannep on October 21, 2010 at 8:45pm: Sorry, Diana. I had a feeling that they would turn it back to your recruit. Maybe if you remind him that you sure would like to go to PIR but for sure need your password to get the gate pass...maybe then you will get it! You don't need the gate pass if you take the shuttle to PIR, but of course...none of us would want to go to PIR without our gate pass, right? You will need it to return him back to base. I hope that you get your answer soon.

Comment by diannep on October 21, 2010 at 8:42pm: kevinsproudmom: You will need to delete the post where you shared a last name. No last names are allowed on this site. Sorry! Maybe you can just ask if anyone on here is from Foothill Ranch. You could get your answer that way.

Also, on the paper/pencil request...you can send him some. He will just have to open it in front of the RDC's since it is large. But they normallly pass out the Navy stationery and envelopes there? But it wouldn't hurt to send more so you can make sure you will get some letters from him.

Comment by Diana, ship 04 division 283 on October 21, 2010 at 8:17pm: Well we called internal affairs , they told us to write him and ask for password and who is on the invite list , , that was all they told me lol, wow like I hadn't already done that over and over lol, so now that i know he is receiving mail he will just answer that himself , Love to all of you , happy days are ahead

Comment by shana-(kaceysmom) on October 21, 2010 at 7:33pm: the letter i got was sent out the 17th..he had his teeth pulled the 14th..he didnt say anything about being held in medical....they just pulled his 2 bottom teeth...but just incase im gona stay home so if he does call i wont miss it...and if he dosnt then ill know he will call next week

Comment by AndreaS61 on October 21, 2010 at 7:31pm: I got a letter yesterday too and my daughter sounded really upbeat. Passed her swimming test and the PFA. She says she feels like she can do anything! She asks us to please write, so she must not have gotten ALL our letters. Hers was dated 10/17/10. She needs her wisdom teeth out too but didn't say when that will be.

Comment by shana-(kaceysmom) on October 21, 2010 at 7:16pm: i got my second letter today....he had his bottom wisdem teeth pulled...also said he got new teeth ? but seems to be in good spirits and has made new friends from diff parts of the country...makes me feel alot better.!..now hope to get his call tomorrow if he's able to !
