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 25, 2010 at 2:50am: Robin...I know what the recruiter told you...but I was told my many recruits that they are directed to the pay phones, the lines are incredibly long, they are incredibly stressed and sometimes just can't stand the thought of standing in that line while being screamed at, think they'll go back "in a few mnutes" and then forget.

Comment by Lynne on September 25, 2010 at 2:47am: Karla you can click on stop following button up above and it won't flood your email

Comment by Robin(Corpsman-DA Mom) on September 24, 2010 at 11:48pm: @Gabby - my son will be going to A school in GL as a Hospital Corpsman - Dental Assistant. What about your daughter?
Yes ! I heard the same thing about musical cards! I tell everyone to keep the outside of the envelope very plain. I even told my mom to have my stepdad address the envelope since she has such beautiful handwriting. HA! Don't want to draw attention to anything!!!

Comment by KarlaB4 on September 24, 2010 at 11:39pm: Laura, I'm sending letters, not postcards. I suggested postcards to others because it's just easier and I doubt any of them would be writing anything private. I'll let them know not to put anything private on them just in case. Thanks! Karla

Gotta love it!!

Comment by Diana in Az on September 24, 2010 at 10:56pm: I didnt get the I am here either when he got there. He got there on 9/14. I did get a call on 9/18. but was at work so he left a 60 mess that he is fine. Received his box on monday and the form letter. that is all I have received from him. I think about him all the time. I am thinking no news is good news. Hope everyone is ok.

Comment by UNC"S MOM 2010 on September 24, 2010 at 10:12pm: my son is ship 4 div 825 we miss him a lot he had to miss his sisters wedding on sept. 18th I cant wait to hear from him and send him some pictures.

Comment by stefani71-ship7/div364 on September 24, 2010 at 10:02pm: I don't have time to follow the forum much either but I wanted to check in and see what was going on :) No letter yet from my son, but that seems to be the norm as of yet so I'm not worried. Of course I'd love to hear from him, but as long as I know he's safe it's all good. I find myself using just about the same coping mechanisms as when his dad was active duty... staying as busy as possible (with my schedule right now that's not too difficult). It's still hard to end my letters to him, but it is getting better.

Comment by Laura (Ship 7 Div 355 PIR 11/5) on September 24, 2010 at 9:59pm: Karla, not sure i would send postcards. Just remember you might want to keep your conversations private between yourself and your recruit
