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 TCarp0328 on September 27, 2010 at 12:27am: Going to bed ladies a little upset; I am not going to lie. I had high hopes that I was going to talk to my husband. Now I am just looking for Thursday to come so I can get my letter(s) from him. Hope you have a great night and enjoy your week.

Comment by Robin(Corpsman-DA Mom) on September 27, 2010 at 12:18am: Jessica or Lynne - How are the divisions formed? Are they formed in numerical order as the recruits arrive?? Because my son got there late Tues, Sept 14 and will really only go through 7 1/2 weeks of BC including processing week since he is supposed to graduate on 11/5. It could explain why we haven't got letters yet if they consider them to the last ones in so they are the last ones to send letters. Whatcha think?

Comment by Robin(Corpsman-DA Mom) on September 27, 2010 at 12:15am: Well, from my notes, it looked like Div 362,363, and 364 had not received calls or letters as of yet, but I just read that Div 362 called today. Lucky ya'll !!! I still don't know what's up with Div. 363 and 364. I'm hoping my son's letters will explain it all. I may not get mail till Thurs. since I am in a smaller town. Congrats to all of you who have received letters and calls.

Comment by Lynne on September 26, 2010 at 10:29pm: I'm waiting too Littleman...I woke up this AM sure I was talking to him...and yes I was having a conversation...with me...lovely....oh well...TMI...right....yikes and we still have how many weeks to go...lol

Comment by Lynne on September 26, 2010 at 10:21pm: Welcome Josie...I am so glad you took the plunge...check up above in the discussions area and you will find a forum for your division and be able to see who else has children and signiicant others in that division. Make plans now to attend the Meet and Greet 11/4 I hope to meet you!!

Comment by Josie(PIR11-5)ET_A_SCHOOL_1107 on September 26, 2010 at 9:45pm: New this group. I have been following the comments now for about a week. Good to read all the comments and information. Looking forward to getting my letter and interested in hearing from any other Moms/GF/Wives/Parents with SRs in Ship 07, Div 360 with a PIR 11/5/10. Thanks!

Comment by Amy**QM MOM** on September 26, 2010 at 9:42pm: I am sure this has been answered, but the last 2 weeks have been kinda scrambled...I know the sailors get to write on Sunday, but do they get our letters on Sunday to? Just curious if my son has or may have recieved any of the 10 I have sent yet? lol

Comment by Lynne on September 26, 2010 at 8:58pm: WOW congrats to everyone who got calls today... I am so very happy for you and so darn jealous...what I wouldn't do to hear my baby's voice...oh well...only two more weeks to that six week mark when the RDC said they could call...

And to those of you who shared your calls adn your letters thanks...i makes us all feel better on some level!!

Comment by Laura (Ship 7 Div 355 PIR 11/5) on September 26, 2010 at 8:55pm: Glad some of you got calls, no call here. Glad I got a letter, I will hold out hope for that again this week.

Comment by Mom(Div363-PIR11/5) on September 26, 2010 at 8:42pm: Yeah for your phone calls and upbeat recruits!

On airlines, we are using Southwest into Midway. If Southwest goes near you, take them. They don't charge for a change in date! And you can take luggage for free!
