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."

He said battlestations will be on Sunday. He is SOOOO awesome!!! He gave me a diagram of where to sit in the stands so I could see him the best!!! What a sweet child, he knows his mama too well :D

Comment by Wendi, CTR mom on December 9, 2010 at 10:09pm: On letter dated 12/2 H says 326 hours till freedom

Comment by Anita MA Mom on December 9, 2010 at 10:05pm: Hey there ladies,

I got the longest letter today so far, it was 4 pages!! I couldn't believe he wrote that much. He said he was really tired and couldn't wait for a nap lol. He said they have test 3 coming up and it was going to be harder than the others. This last full week will be Damage Control and firefighting. They have one more uniform inspection that they will do after the tear gas chamber. One more PFA on fri which is tomorrow and after that he said they get to eat something sweet.He said they made a rule for their div that no sweets could be eaten until everyone passed the PFA. Some of you have been asking about Battle Stations will be next Mon . This Sat will be the Captains cup he is looking forward to that. Had some fun outside with their Bro div 024 throwing snow balls at each other. So sounds like they are having SOME FUN lol. Pray for one of his RDC Petty Officer Cota he was in a bad car accident and has a concussion and a broken rib. So excited to get a long letter . He sounds great but also excited for graduation. He said their div looks good and he can't wait for us to see them March. Hope you all heard from you sailors too!!

Comment by Wendi, CTR mom on December 9, 2010 at 9:59pm: Got a letter today actually 3 in one: 5.0 on zone inspection, 5.0 on a test, drill flag for drill inspection, got a flag for PFA and said that means less than 8 people failed. Lots of Hooyah's. Had fire fighting Tues, gas on Wed lots of picture taking (yay make-up), last inspection today, last PF on 13th, then next day is battlestations (so that would be Tuesday). She said the Chief likes me because I put each flight on a different side of the paper. He likes smart people.
