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 gabbyhat on September 24, 2010 at 3:27am: Great pic, Lynne...you are our cheerleader!

Comment by Lynne on September 24, 2010 at 3:08am: Woo Hoo Another Week has Passed and another week closer to PIR

Bet our recruits are thinking Sunday is coming and I can write letters, go to church, relax a little and we are thinking more time to spend on Navy for Moms. One more week passed....woo hoo!!!

Comment by Lynne on September 24, 2010 at 2:08am: the address for the flag is mybluestarflag.com I hope this helps.

Comment by Lynne on September 24, 2010 at 1:57am: Send a prepaid phone card in a letter ASAP, they can buy them at the nex but have few minutes...do a favor for your recruit...first..use it first so it is ready for them to use...second...on a small piece of paper, write down step by step instructions on how to use the card so they don't have to think when they call..because they will be so excited.. I sent 1000 minute card with my son...now I'm thinking...why did I do that...I'll lucky to talk to him for five minutes total at this point...lol...but I know him he will share...lol

1. Dial this number
2. When you hear the beep, pres this number
3. When you hear the nex beep, dial our number area code first (write the number in case they have forgotten or are stressed)
4. You will hear this...then do this.

Make it very specific.

Comment by navymom x 2 on September 24, 2010 at 12:28am: USN Mom ..I mailed my son a phone card..but I think they can purchase one also. Don't know if they can call collect?

Comment by USN Mom on September 24, 2010 at 12:20am: so do I understand correctly that we have to send them a phone card before they can call home? We were never told that. My son doesn't have one - can I mail him one now - seems like they are strict on what they receive in the mail. Will they allow him to rec' the phone card?
Very Confused!

Comment by brandi-S7/DIV357/PIR11/5 on September 23, 2010 at 11:56pm: i got a letter from my boyfriend yesterday. it was a pretty long one. he says he's doing good. was a little homesoick at first but he's doing better. talked about how he just wanted to come home & be with me & never leave my side again, but i told him not to worry about me & to coninue on with his goals in life. this site seems to be a MAJOR support for me, which is what i needed.

Comment by jerrikas_mom(Ship07Div355) on September 23, 2010 at 11:38pm: I received my first real letter today. She was doing good. Having trouble not smiling or laughing when she was getting yelled at (she is strange like that). Blisters on her feet from the marching, but has already passed her swim qualification. So good to hear from her.

Comment by Oldest of 4 on September 23, 2010 at 11:28pm: mimi my son's recruiter told me that phone call would be a lengthy one. Maybe a good half an hour.
