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 Robin(Corpsman-DA Mom) on October 7, 2010 at 6:15pm: Lynne - I think the real time chat box would be a great idea!
Dianne - What is Hell Week? Doesn't sound good!
Everyone - I got 2 letters today!!! Thursday instead of Friday! Alot was what we talked about on the phone Tuesday but a few more tidbits of info. He is still doing fine so that is very comforting. Had 3 wisdom teeth removed last week and he didn't even say anything about it on the phone Tuesday. Must not have been bad at all! I'm still waiting to hear how he did on his academic test. He should be taking it this week. Says he loves the letters and to send pictures! I'll get right on it!

Comment by Tiffany(s11div362PIR11-5) on October 7, 2010 at 5:52pm: Has anyone from division 362 get a letter yet???

Comment by Lynne on October 7, 2010 at 5:52pm: Okay y'all so I have this fun idea..there is this real time chat box you can get to put in the group...and I was thinking it might be fun to put that in here for a couple of hours next week when Iowa's guy is free and then we could have a real time chat with him about his experience in boot camp...wouldn't that be fun?? What do you think...now I will have to ask him if he would do that, but is there any interest if I can....you know....encourage him to participate??

Comment by Proud Navy husband on October 7, 2010 at 5:52pm: LYNN! For what it's worth, i haven't gotten the questionnaire either. I'm still waiting on my wife to send the one i put in her letter, however i got a letter today :)

Comment by Lynne on October 7, 2010 at 5:48pm: No big deal Dianne...I just want folks to know they need that...I would hate for folks to get there and have forgotten..thank you for your help in answering questions with this group...it is growing all the time and I am not always around.

Comment by Lynne on October 7, 2010 at 5:42pm: You know those questionaires I wrote y'all...that I slaved over...well i sent them...have I gotten one back...no nada...and I think my child...has decided that hour long phone call last week should hold me...because no mail for me...hmmm...I am going to wring his neck when I see him...well after I hug him, and slobber crying kisses on him and tell him how much I love him...and then if there's time I'll wring his neck...lol

Comment by Laura (Ship 7 Div 355 PIR 11/5) on October 7, 2010 at 5:32pm: Got a letter today. They are doing Marlinspike this week. Seems his A school is full, so he will be on hold for a month. I think it's time to send another questionnaire, I seem to get more info that way.
