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 Laura (Ship 7 Div 355 PIR 11/5) on October 12, 2010 at 9:08pm: No letter yet this week and no call seems like forever, but two weeks is right on.

Comment by TCarp0328 on October 12, 2010 at 9:06pm: DIV 355- Any phone calls or letters recently? My last letter I got on Thursday and received a call two weeks ago.

Other DIV- Congrats on the calls and letters. So I am hoping like some of you my Husband writes me and lets me know when he is leaving. I know he is a grad-n-go.

Comment by Diana in Az on October 12, 2010 at 8:53pm: I got a letter from my son today. I was surprised to get one. He even answered the the questionnaire I sent. He said the food is good and he likes the cereal the best. I would say that would be his favorite food anyway.He said there are 4 others in his division that live in Arizona. He said he is cold, cant get warm. He also said that they wake them up every night to do ironing. He says he is also doing some sort of watch, couldn't read his writing. And that he misses me. and he doesn't know what day they are on, he has lost track of time. I just really hope time gets over quickly, I am ready for him to be done.

Comment by Laura (Ship 7 Div 355 PIR 11/5) on October 12, 2010 at 8:47pm: Alicia, did she mention what they are up to? My son is in the brother division 355.
