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 Nicole[: [Proud.Navy.Wife] on October 12, 2010 at 8:33pm: got 3 more letters today!! yay. this kinda stuff makes it SO much easier. thank God for the post office! [:

Comment by maggie on October 12, 2010 at 8:13pm: Hey lynne I checked didn't see anything

Comment by firemansmom(S7/DIV357) on October 12, 2010 at 7:25pm: Lynne--check 357 mustering-in--just posted details of letters from today--dated 09/07...fairly sure he meant 10/07! Exhaustion setting in I think!

Comment by Lynne on October 12, 2010 at 7:10pm: Okay folks Hell Week is aptly named because during this time period they do so many things. they have their second PFA so they get that next chance to pass the running, situps, and push-up portions of the test, In addition, they are being tested in several areas ( the specifics I am not sure of), going to the Gas Chamber, having multiple inspections, and just generally being pushed, pushedk, pushed. They are up early and to bed late. They are dead dog tired and going on auto-pilot. So keep those cards and letters going. They need your support now more than ever!

Comment by Lynne on October 12, 2010 at 7:01pm: maggie...check the comments on your page...I sent you an idea for your son!!

Comment by Kathy on October 12, 2010 at 4:48pm: Hi Maggie, My son didnt say if they are allowed to leave base while waiting for A school. So I don't know. He was just happy he is not a Grad and Go, so didnt give much info abot waiting to leave.

Comment by Laura (Ship 7 Div 355 PIR 11/5) on October 12, 2010 at 4:38pm: Sandi, fc is fire controlman, from my understanding when they go to advanced electronics training they will specialize either fc or et. Initially I thought it was decided after A school, but according to my sons latest letter it is decided in boot camp.

Comment by Tiffany(s11div362PIR11-5) on October 12, 2010 at 4:35pm: A fc is a fire controlman

Comment by Kathy on October 12, 2010 at 3:59pm: Hello everyone, Rec'd letter from my son (Div 364). He is not a Grad and Go. Yeah!! Said it looks like he won't be leaving for A school til the 9th. He also found out his school is going to be 18 weeks instead of 38. He is Happy about that. He is engaged, they are hoping for a spring wedding now instead of fall.. He said that things are coming together with his div. and all are doing pretty good. Like the rest of you, can hardly wait for 11/5

Comment by sandi (shp07/div357/PIR11/5) on October 12, 2010 at 3:52pm: here is another one what is FC, I already know what ET is cause that is what my son is suppose to be doing also
