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 bradleysmom(S11DIV060 PIR 2/4/11 on December 9, 2010 at 10:44am: YAY I finally got a letter from my son!!!!! It made me soo happy, it seemed like I could hear his voice while reading it! He is doing really good and was excited to get their camies and dog tags. He said that there were 21 out of 72 that passed the physical fitness test and he was one of them. He also said that he kicked butt on the swimming test. He told me that the drill instructor said he had potential to be a section leader. He sounded so excited and said that he is starting to like it now. He misses home and all and especially his girlfriend but he is making new buddies and they talk to help them through it. I know one of his buddies names and was hoping to find his mom on here but not sure if I can say his name. Am I allowed to? does anyone know?

Comment by Cat(Mom of an AO) on December 9, 2010 at 10:33am: Got it Gi, thanks Kathy

Comment by Gina - Ship 07, Div. 050 on December 9, 2010 at 10:22am: Cat - I have got to believe that today would be the day for you. I'm sure you'll get one by Saturday at the latest. I'm sending you a big hug over the internet

Comment by Cat(Mom of an AO) on December 9, 2010 at 10:01am: WOW, what a great group to belong to. You have all been so thoughtful. I was a bit down not receiving a letter last night but have to say it felt so good to hear about your letters. Thanks so much for all your kind words and I am sure a letter will arrive at ant moment.

Comment by nascarnov on December 9, 2010 at 12:04am: Oh, Cat! I'm so sorry you didn't get your letter. But, I live in WI. It doesn't have to go as far, so maybe mine got here a day sooner because of that. You WILL get your letter very soon. I know you will! I know you will!

Comment by chew92 on December 9, 2010 at 12:03am: ship 2 Div 909 No mail... I'm sending a letter a day with as many jokes as I can find that make me laugh. I can only imagine what a work out they are getting. When he can write he will.

Comment by bradsfanclub on December 8, 2010 at 10:59pm: Hang in there Cat... It will come.. and when it does a big weight will lifted from you. I have total faith it will come soon.... Kris's didn't come today either so maybe the letters are together lol Hang in there, you have lifted us when we needed it and now we are here for you!!!

Comment by Lynne on December 8, 2010 at 9:54pm: Cat...this message is just for you...lol...mail goes out on Mondays...sometimes it doesn't get out until Tuesdays...so Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays are the big days for getting mail...so don't get discouraged. We had a mailman in our group (God bless his soul...lol) and he said mail goes 500 miles per day...and it worked out like that almost every time.
