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 22, 2010 at 10:02pm: Ross Matthews is my favorite comedian and he was doing questions and answers the other day so:

1. You make me laugh! And thank you for doing it without being nasty to someone else..that takes real talent! Will you give a shout out to the young men and women in Navy BC with PIR 11/5? That is their graduation.
I always try to make sure there's no victim at the end of my joke. Holla to Navy BC w/ PIR 11/5!

Comment by alice/S7/Div364 on September 22, 2010 at 10:02pm: 12 minutes to eat? that means quenton has about 7 minutes to kill. ive seen him him wolf down 3 hot dogs in the time it takes me to make 1! now the 3 minute shower may be a problem...hes been known to sleep in the shower.Lol

Comment by AmeliaGrumma (RCU) on September 22, 2010 at 9:59pm: Hi Navywife,
My daughter is also Ship 7 DIV 356 PIR 11/5, already made plans to attend PIR!

Comment by Lynne on September 22, 2010 at 9:42pm: I forgot to say he did end the letter with it was a good day...so i guess hating everyone must come with the territory...I think we just have to be ready for it and recognize that we have each other and they have something totally new where they know basically no one and are having to build a team and the RDCs are forcing them to depend on each other. We have family, friends, this group, our typical schedule and lives and that is comforting. They have one pillow, a 4 inch mattress, stinky clothes, 3 minute showers, 12 minutes to eat, and a very tired brain and body. I am sure it gets to them. Keep your spirits up and keep encouraging him. On the Boot Camp Moms site their is a neat discussion with all kinds of suggestions with words of encouragement. There are multiple sayings and stories. I have used several of them..

Comment by Lynne on September 22, 2010 at 9:38pm: Did he sound kind of overwhelmed iowa...my son said it was hard...at one point he kind of vented and said at that moment he hated everyone equally and everyone hate everyone else equally as well...lol...they are breaking them down and working them hard. I didn't expect them to only be in week 1 at this point!!

Comment by iowanavygf (s7,Div355,PIR11/5) on September 22, 2010 at 9:31pm: The letter wasn't upbeat like it sounds others got.. he made his normal jokes, so I hope it will just get better each week. I'm excited about him folding socks.. I hate that job!

Comment by Lynne on September 22, 2010 at 9:26pm: iowa...why did the letter make you sad...just because it makes you miss him more...I can understand that...we are here for you..and I want to know how to fold socks into a smiley face...lol

Comment by Lynne on September 22, 2010 at 8:48pm: you are so right...missvixter...on all accounts...mine sounded like he was sitting in my living room having one of our late night chats I just keep reading it over and over

Comment by missvixster(S7/Div359/PIR11/5) on September 22, 2010 at 8:46pm: Got my letter! Hmmm, son's wife got a 6 pager...I got a one pager...I think I've been replaced, but oh what a treasure that 1 page is! He sounds sooo good - no complaining either! Said the Navy is hard, but fair. Gosh I love that boy so much and am just bursting with pride! I hope all of you receive your letters soon - BANavy is so right - seeing HIS/HER writing and HIS/HER words makes you feel so much lighter. Chins up everyone!
