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 Lynne on September 29, 2010 at 1:53am: Jck....love that ad...she better get an 'A' Great news about the phone calls and letters....Iowa so glad to see you here hanging with us...we are here for you and will be for a long time regardless of the outcome...glad to hear some can get photos...see that's what I mean about the difference between RDCs.

I don't think the RDCs open mail b4 our recruits get it, but if it feels like there is more than a letter then I think that they are there to see what is inside. I can't remember who told me the story about how she had sent her recruit cookies for his birthday along with a musical card. The recruit wrote home and said thanks for the cookies mom, the RDCs said they tasted great. We enjoyed the pushups we did while they ate them and the battery ran down on the card.
Next time care a little less. So my thought is error on the side of safety.

We are only 37 days away. We can do this. We are on the downhill slide. Letters are starting to come in. Heaven knows I will be stalking my mail box tomorrow. Okay i admit it, I left a plate full of cookies in my mail box today with a nice note to my mailman explaining I can't get down there to my box and would he please bring me the mail tomorrow. I am not above bribery. I hope that my questionaires will be returned tomorrow. I have my fingers and toes crossed.

Hang in there everyone. I just want to say our group is growing by leaps and bounds and I am trying to keep everyone straight however some of you appear to have very similar names and I get things confused a little. Imagine that, I am not perfect...lol!!! So if I call your son a girl, your wife a husband, or think you did something one way or advise something else please bear with me. If I was wrong I will hop on the oops express and humbly eat my hat. Thanks for putting up with me everyday!!

Comment by Proud Navy husband on September 29, 2010 at 1:50am: HEIDI! I take it that the phone call will be for everyone in the division?

Comment by Kat (MM Nuke) on September 29, 2010 at 1:44am: New navy mom (Amy) - yes, I am PRAYING for a letter tomorrow. this has been such a long wait. hopefully we'll get a phone call on Sunday too.
I just hope my son doesn't pull one of his tricks, ha, and call a friend instead.

Comment by Lynne on September 29, 2010 at 1:42am: Hi Rachel...you are in the right place. What a great welcome Kat...perhaps I should make you the welcoming committee...lol!!! If you learn that lingo any time soon Rachel you can educate the rest of us!! We are all learning together. Click on view all up above, find your brothers division and you can meet other family members. Feel free to ask any question you might have, and if one of us doesn't know the answer I will find it, or jessica who knows way more than me will!! I am so glad you joined us on this rollercoaster ride we call surviving boot camp!!

Comment by Amy**QM MOM** on September 29, 2010 at 1:40am: Katpre1....I am hoping so bad we get letters tomorrow (today) lol....I cant sleep.....

Comment by Kat (MM Nuke) on September 29, 2010 at 1:11am: yes, this group is for that, plus you can look above at the division groups and find the one that he is in and join it to talk to other people who's sons/brothers/husbands are in there.

Comment by navymom x 2 on September 28, 2010 at 9:52pm: Zanesmom I know!!!! I was gonna go kick my sons butt for not writing and all..I hope the postman doesn't do that again..for his sake! LOL.

Comment by Heidi (SHIP02,DIV951,PIR11/5) on September 28, 2010 at 9:38pm: Hannah also said she received our letters & loves the pictures. She didn't get any greif for them. I've sent her about a dozen photos so far. She said she looks at them daily and asked for more. So.... I guess photos are ok. At least in her division.

Comment by Heidi (SHIP02,DIV951,PIR11/5) on September 28, 2010 at 9:34pm: I received a letter today. Hannah is doing well. Quite well. I am so proud. She said PT is hard but she can do it! She said running in Freedom Hall sucks because there is no air in there. You get cotton mouth real quick. You need to breathe in through your nose & out your mouth. I asked about the food, desserts in particular. She actually said the desserts are awesome but she only gets it at lunch on Sunday because thats when they serve icecream and she likes the ice cream! She also said she would be able to call on Sunday between 5 & 6! YIPPEE!
