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 Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on November 3, 2010 at 10:13pm: Oh Wendi, I teared up just reading that. I'm so glad that she is doing better. She's a real trooper. Yay!

Comment by Nancy on November 3, 2010 at 10:12pm: YEAH!!! Just reading your news made me SO happy!! Thrilled to hear that all is working out. I have been worrying about you and Heidi!! Good that you got that extra phone call to reassure YOU that all is well!! Our kids are really TOUGH!!!
HUGS!!!

Comment by Wendi, CTR mom on November 3, 2010 at 10:09pm: Heidi called again today to check on the info she requested yesterday. She talked to my husband and was doing much better today. He asked her if she was going to tough it out and she said yes. No tears until he relayed a message from her boyfriend. happy tears though. She has not received any of our letters yet. Husband told her how much we have been sending and that made her happy.

All of your prayers combined with mine have paid off.

Comment by Lori_KingsBay_USSRI_Radio on November 3, 2010 at 9:41pm: I looked at A's Form letter tonight when I got home; his address is written like this: Ship 03 Div 023/024. Anyone else's SR include 2 divisions? I'm not worried about my mail getting to him as its the same ship, same street BUT i do want to know which DIV to watch for at PIR. I will ask him in my next letter. Am curious if anyone else's form letter had both Div's listed.

Comment by Lori_KingsBay_USSRI_Radio on November 3, 2010 at 9:06pm: hisgirl2010 - think positive and investigate your options; help us understand why you believe you may not be able to see your BF graduate? Maybe we can answer some questions for you or direct you to someone who can. All is not lost; chin up - stay in the moment and don't get too far ahead of today. Seek information as it is powerful in helping you make trusted and sound decisions. Its tough being away from your BF isn't it - it is understandable. Stay strong for your SR!

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on November 3, 2010 at 8:26pm: hisgirl2010, I would take things one step at a time. Things could change between now and then. Breathe! You will be just fine and I'm sure he knows how much you love him. He needs you to be positive and encouraging right now. Don't let him know how upset you are, it will only make him worry while he is at BC. I'm sure you don't want that for him. ((hugs))

Comment by KLMkathy on November 3, 2010 at 8:15pm: Hi Hisgirl2010, I am sorry you are having such a hard time. It helps me to write tons of letters and try to forget what I am going through and just support him. It is difficult for us but it is 10 times more difficult for our recruits. I am hoping that there is someway you can make graduation but I understand it might not be possible. I will be praying that you can find the strength to just support him while he is in Boot Camp. Bless you. K

Comment by hisgirl2010 on November 3, 2010 at 8:01pm: ugh. so i am pretty upset right. cause i might not be able to go see my bf graduate :( omg and if i dont i will die i miss him already what else do i have to do god i swear my life sucks

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on November 3, 2010 at 7:29pm: Mary you are truely blessed to have found such a special man to share your life with. I wish everyone in the world cared so much for their children. And, for you to take on that responsibility to become a wife and a mother what a special lady you are. I wish you and your family all the best that life has to offer.

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on November 3, 2010 at 5:49pm: It has been a very exciting day. I filled 15 goodie bags for the Sailors on the Harry S Truman (N4M project). It was fun shopping for all the goodies and it just makes you feel warm and fuzzy inside :-) And my sailor just found 15 packs of stickers I use for the ribbons at AC Moore near her base and they honored my rain check from NC :-) And I just printed my tickets for me and my honey's date night tomorrow to go see Jeff Dunham :-) ....... After the very sad week we had last week it will be good to laugh. I hope everyone here had a great day and hopefully you will be getting letters very soon.
