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 Mom(Div363-PIR11/5) on September 24, 2010 at 8:40pm: My son is in 363 and no letter yet, except for the form letter with a few lines at the end; I thought it was just me but I guess the others receiving mail were from other divisions...do you think they are appreciating all of us just a little more just about now.....

I was able to clean out my son's bathroom but have just started on his room (a scary place). I would give ANYTHING to see his bed and locker now and how neat it is. I am ORGANIZING, it will be a while before I can get to the point of even cleaning!!!! But it is kind of fun, if I can confess, because it's his stuff.

I found the bed frame was all twisted up (was it him or the big dogs?) and I fixed it with his own gorilla tape (duct tape look-a-like) so there's some justice in that. The head board came apart (it WAS an old one - maybe 20 years) so I am trying to see if I can fix it myself without telling his Dad! I'm holding it together with a clamp right now.....

Comment by Amy**QM MOM** on September 24, 2010 at 7:56pm: Robin, you are the first I have seen with a child in same ship and div. I haven't recived anything as far as phone call or letter. I will keep you up to date if I get one..Hopefully soon

Comment by Lynne on September 24, 2010 at 6:58pm: I only said that because it represents the vast difference in the number of days these recruits have been at boot camp, yet some who have been there much less time have written more letters, and some have written none. Remember the RDC are individually in charge and they run their divisions how they want to. They have guidelines about what has to be accomplished each week but no guidelines about what priveleges they have to give out....which is why there is such a difference...you wait y'all will be enjoying your phone calls and Cardinal company will be whining in our corners because we aren't hearing anything...every division is different

Comment by Lynne on September 24, 2010 at 6:53pm: okay whats the deal...I leave for three hours you guys talk talk talk...I come back....nada.....lol...well except blyn....how goes it blyn I am so glad yuo got a letter...so how is he

Comment by Brooklyn on September 24, 2010 at 6:50pm: sending him wishes...

Comment by Lynne on September 24, 2010 at 6:48pm: this is my son's 24th day

Comment by Lynne on September 24, 2010 at 6:46pm: peanut butter shot is gamma globulin...its like a hepatitis prevention kind of thing...very very very painful...I was exposed to hepatitis by my friend's sister who had used drugs in college and used a dirty needle and so I had to get one...thank you very much....it was soooooooo painful and it was given slowly and carefully...I can't imagine jamming in in there quickly and without thought
