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 diannep on November 2, 2010 at 9:57pm: Heidi'sMom: I doubt they are going to send her home...she'll get over this "hump." Alot of them get discouraged at this point...especially with an injury. Keep encouraging her in your letters and hopefully she will be back to full training soon.Try to get all family members/friends to flood her with letters right now...that lifts their spirits more than anything.

Comment by Wendi, CTR mom on November 2, 2010 at 9:49pm: I my have made my flight plans, too soon. I got 2 calls today and so did my husband. She was getting info for security clearance. She told us that her knee is hurting and she has been in physical therapy since Friday. After 7 days of LLD you get moved to the next group. She did say that if she PIR's on 12/17 she would come home for 2 weeks. She said she is going to ask the Dr tomorrow if she can come home. I am worried that she is giving up because she is tired and lonely. I just don't want her to feel like she failed.She so wanted this. Time will tell.

Comment by diannep on November 2, 2010 at 9:30pm: HOOYAH for the box and the rolled up pants leg----the first time I was asked that question, I had no clue. My son went to boot camp last Nov, but being a S. Florida boy, he went in shorts...because that is all he will wear...yep, shorts.....so of course, I had no rolled up pants leg. But the rolled up pants leg is something that has perplexed many!

HOOYAH!

Comment by Lori_KingsBay_USSRI_Radio on November 2, 2010 at 9:29pm: Jeanne - how is our Girl! She is PIRing 12/17 - I just saw you joined our group - good to see you here!

Comment by Lori_KingsBay_USSRI_Radio on November 2, 2010 at 9:28pm: hisgirl2010; the box comes in anywhere from 3 - 10 days for your SR's arrival at BC, the form letter and graduation packet follows the box. I got my SR's box days after arrival at BC and the form letter 3 days later. It varies. I expect BC that later part of the week of 10.25 was busy because we had many SR's BC arrivale delayed by 1 full day due to the weather in the Chicago area. Not sure if that will impact boxes and letters, but it could. When did your SR arrive at GL?

Comment by hisgirl2010 on November 2, 2010 at 9:07pm: like how long did you have to wait

Comment by Lori_KingsBay_USSRI_Radio on November 2, 2010 at 8:44pm: That's great Penny - you'll have to ready Mary's post on the 12/22 PIR - such a cute comment the rolled up pant legs. Congratulations Chica!

Comment by NC_Susan on November 2, 2010 at 8:36pm: Yay ctown!! Getting that box is such a relief :) Mine didn't write a letter or note either but that's ok. I hope you get your letter tomorrow!! Susan

Comment by ctownnavymom_Groton_SECF on November 2, 2010 at 8:30pm: I got my box today!!!! Whoever thought that a pair of rolled up jeans would make me so weepy! The only thing in his pocket was his Livestrong bracelet! haha! No letter for Mom! I was a little concerned because both legs were rolled up and I thought uh-oh...didn't he follow orders? ...and yes, I smelled and smelled them! Yay for you too Mary!
I just wish I would get that form letter! You ladies have been so busy...I'm trying to keep up with scarf, ribbon and PIR group information! I think I'm going to have to start taking notes on our discussions! hahaha!
